...that bad ..." sings Neil Diamond in his Crunchy Granola baritone. "You're alive, you might as well be glad." Three and a half years ago, when he was close to the top of the rock pile, Diamond decided to take a performing sabbatical and enjoy family life. Back on the boards again - last month he earned $500,000 for three concerts in Las Vegas - he also has a new LP zooming up the pop-music charts.
