Welcome to My Hot August Nightmare

Although I missed watching last week, I learned that this year's inductees into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame included both Alice Cooper (née Vincent Furnier) and Neil Diamond (née Neil Diamond).

Naturally, it feels a little awkward to admit that I'm familiar with the catalogs of both performers.

My understanding is that they performed several duets together (though not all were included in the broadcast), including:

• Only Kentucky Women Bleed
• I Am Eighteen...I Said
• Holly Holy I Never Cry
• Muscle of Love at the Greek
• Teenage Lament in D Minor

At least Barbra Streisand wasn't there.
