Who knew the Greeks were such big Neil Diamond fans?
We were just watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics, and everyone in the audience, athletes, spectators, etc. turned on little flashing lights that hung (presumably on string or something) over their hearts. The lights in the stadium dimmed, and each flashing light represented the spirit of the Olympic torch that each person would carry with them for the rest of their days.
Did I see the symbolism? No. I saw E.T. sticking his knobby finger out and groaning, "Ellll...eeeee...ot." And then Neil's voice rose to a crescendo in my head:
Turn on your heart light,
Let it shine wherever you go.
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see...
No need to thank me for getting that song stuck in your head.
