    JimBob5000 is a moron! He says “where’s all the good bands” then lists James Blunt! That says all we need to know about his musical taste/knowledge!!!
    The guy is obviously retarded, check out his spelling of Paul McCartney for f*ck sake!
    People like him are proof that cousins shouldn’t marry and certainly shouldn’t be allowed out without their carer! A total f*cking halfwit!!!

    You have obviously not been to a Neil Diamond concert, JimBob5000. He will have the audience in the palms of his hands. He is absolutely brilliant live.
