Sweet Kennedy

Neil Diamond apparently does not possess the same obstinance as Carly Simon in revealing his top secret muse behind his biggest song.

The 40-year-old song "Sweet Caroline" [bum bum bummm] was written about Caroline Kennedy. It was a picture of JFK's daughter dressed in riding gear and standing with a pony that Diamond saw in a magazine and inspired him to write the song.

Diamond, 66, said he purposely did not reveal the secret because he wanted to tell Caroline himself. He was given the opportunity when performing the song via satellite at her 50th birthday party.

So good, so good, so good! Buuut, does anyone else think that's a tad creepy? Touching me, touching youuuu...

FYI: Only three people know whom Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" is about--Simon, the ex-lover and NBC Sports president Dick Ebersol, who paid $50,000 for the answer at a charity auction.
