The kind of music fan who ends up moving to Scotland in his 40's to write a PhD thesis about Nick Cave. No, that's not a joke.

What's a song you initially disliked but now love?

In What About Bob?, Bill Murray's character, Bob Wiley, sums up his divorce by saying: "There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't. My wife loved him."

I don't like Neil Diamond.

At all.

But somehow this song snuck up on me at some point in my early adulthood and, despite my best efforts to hate it on principle, I love this perfect little piece of proto-sad-dad-rock.
