Penn State Bans Neil Diamond Song

[Clyde]

I don't buy the school's reasoning as it not being original.

 

Did Penn State get touchy over Neil Diamond lyrics?

I've never been to a Penn State football game, but I'm assuming that they must have always played Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" every game based on what I heard on the radio this morning. It looks like the administration has decided to ban the song from being played because of the line, "Touching me, touching you."

Well at least I know it wasn't a joke and I was gulliable for believing it.

 

Please delete the thread if you like.

I didn't realize Caroline was a 10 year old boy.

Well it's obvious new Penn State Administration trying to move away from the scandal as fast as possible. Just start a new song tradition.

Sweet Caroline at PSU games was one of the best scenes in college athletics. I think they are going overboard but I can understand them trying to move way past the scandal.

NOW they're concerned?

Let's come up with a new song for PSU.

Can't touch this - MC Hammer? White Room - Cream?

Hard to argue with the move. They need a renewal of image and having their entire stadium singing about "touching me, touching you" might not be the best look. It's unfortunate for a program as steeped in tradition as PSU, but it's hard to feel sorry for them either. The Sandusky era is part of it now.
