I am delighted to see that this interview with Neil - particularly the visualised version on YouTube - is so popular among fellow Neil Diamond fans. It makes all this work on podcasts, worthwhile. Here, in the third and final part of our 2001 interview, Neil talks about his son Jesse growing up in his shadow, a song they wrote together, working with Gilbert Becaud, 20th-century lyricists he loves, divorce, his concept of God, a near-death experience in 19789 and a message for after he is "gone." This is, arguably, the most revealing interview ever given by the great Neil Diamond.
