Neil Diamond’s 8939012th performance of Sweet Caroline

Neil Diamond, performing his obligatory hit, “Sweet Caroline,” at tonight’s 51st Grammy Awards.

Diamond has been playing the tune at every concert, award show and baseball game for the last 40 years!!!!

And the crowd always eats it up!!

Talk about a cash cow!

Chris Martin Smiles!

Yes it’s a little maniacal, but Chris Martin is smiling during a conversation with Kid Rock.

What could Kid have said to make the C-bag happy???

The Coldplay frontman’s rare appearance was at Saturday’s 2009 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute to Neil Diamond in Los Angeles.

Also in attendance were Jennifer Hudson, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, The Foo Fighters, Chris Cornell, Adele, The Jonas Brothers and actress Camilla Belle.
