Hi. This is #212 of the DiamondBack Hour. I'm your host, Dale the Porsche Guy,
on KDAC, DiamondBack Advisory Board Radio, in Backwash, Fennario. We're here
with another hour of the best of Neil Diamond's live recordings. Stay tuned
after the show for our Neil Marathon, featuring 6 hours of the best of Neil's
live album recordings. Then we'll break for an unpaid political announcement.
If you miss any of tonight's programs, don't worry! They'll be repeated
constantly until you folks get the message.

Now on with tonight's show:

Hi. This is Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead...yeow! I mean, formerly of the
Grateful Dead, and you're listening to KPFA... ouch! KSD... ow! stop it!
uh, where was I? KDAC, voice of the DiamondBack Advisory Council in Fennario,
instead of that crusty old stuff, just like you should be. Ouch!

Hi. This is Neil. When you come to my shows, you want to have the best time
before and after.  That means impressing your fellow DiamondBacks with your
scene cuisine and your wine selection. Well, there's no better wine for my
concerts than my favorite, the one and only, Cracklin' Rose fortified. All
the glamour and bouquet of the $100 a bottle stuff, with all the kick of
a vintage MD 20/20. Once one of those snooty bastards gets a snoutful of
Cracklin' Rose, they won't notice the 2-week old sushi. Take it from me -
Cracklin' Rose, get on board the limo.

And now, here are some scenes from the next DiamondBack Hour

D:  I'm here with Dan Healey, Neil's new sound engineer. Dan's going to tell us
    about some of the new projects he has in mind, and share some prime cuts
    with us.

DH: That's right, Dale. Now that I have all that storage space after throwing
    out all those old vault tapes, I'm...

   28:40     :44  Introduction
   29:24   22:50  Interview with Maury O'Reilly, the Loxx Foundation

And now a highlight of our show: an exclusive interview with Maury O'Reilly,
president of the Loxx Foundation, established by Neil for the benefit of the
disadvantaged who aspire to be real DiamondBacks, but just can't afford to
create a reputable and fashionable pre-concert buffet.

D: Maury, how did Loxx get started?

M: Well, Neil was playin' Vegas, an' he was lookin' out da' winda uf da hotel,
   an' he sawr summa da crowd trashin' dis guy's Pontiac. So he sent me an'
   da boys out ta see what was da beef. Dis guy had showed up in da lot an 
   was kinda ragged lookin' Ya know, no tux, no flowers, an he wuz cookin'
   hot dogs ona hibachi! Needless to say, da Diamin'Backs diden take
   too kindly to dis slovenly behavior, so dey re-arranged his face good. 
   Turns out he was justa guy what lost his day job frum followin Neil's Tour
   aroun, an was really a pathetic case. Well, we took him to see Neil, an
   Neil said "Why are you hauling this sad sack of shit up here and getting
   the rugs dirty?" But when we explain to him da guy's predicamment, Neil
   musta pitied him cuz he gave him 500 in cash and said "Go home, get some
   champagne, and straighten your life out." 

D: Well, what happened then?

M: Well, I dunno, we never saw him....Oh, ya mean, how did dat start da
   Foundation? Well, Neil said he wuz sicka dis kinda stuff, so he said he
   wanned taa hire some guys ta go a around da lot before his shows, round
   up dese vagrints, givem some dough, an ship 'em off. So dat's what we did.

D: Has it worked?

M: Oh yeah! Real good, too. Da clientele is a lot classier now. 'Course, we
   tell um if we see em again, we'll rip off der legs, so not many come back.
