I think we could all use some salvation just about now. That brought this song to mind by Neil Diamond “Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show”. The lyrics say everyone goes and I think a lot of people would just about go anywhere now if they could roam about freely.

Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show

Ooh, love this song!! He was on Johnny Cash’s show once and did this, and he explained the story behind the song.
Powerful performance from 1970. Neil tells the story behind the song :)

How is Neil doing health wise? Have you heard anything? I saw him in concert in Memphis in 1973 and he was dynamite!

He keeps saying he'll retire because of the Parkinsons but he has done performing even now @GreatMartin I guess it depends on how he feels and if the disease is in control
