Andy "Neil Diamond" Kim

indeed, he not only sounded like him, he looked like him:




Jonathan Silverman, you say?  Nah - David Schwimmer plays him in the biopic.

Tell me who gets a callout in this list before they call out a band he was a member of?

I confess I read thru the lyrics to figure it out, but it's right there: Donny Osmond, then a couple lines later the Osmond Bros.

I actually missed that, there's another one, less obvious.  Obscure even.

OK, this time I had to consult AMG, so I suppose I should disqualify myself. So I'll e-mail you my answer.

(Btw, is there an artist in today's set who was also a member of this band?)

Kim was also an Archie."

But actually I was referring to Leon Russell being a member of Ronnie Hawkins' band.

I think someone could write a whole Pop Culture dissertation on this song.  I know it's been done with "American Pie".

Wow, so there were three different artists (that we know of) who were listed ahead of a band they played in in LIAR (BTRRM)? I'm gobsmacked, I tellya.
Let's get right to it.
