Ciwt wasn't a Neil Diamond Tree People but she was a Tree House People who listened countless times to him shouting to them in his now classic Hot August Night album. If you were a Tree Person or just a simple fan of Neil Diamond, you must see Song Sung Blue. It's a true life story of a Milwaukee couple who called themselves Lightning and Thunder and endeared themselves to their hometown audiences, tiny and huge, with what they called A Neil Diamond Tribute. The movie is totally lowbrow, melodramatic, weepy at times, exhilerating often. The critics of course don't have much good to say about it, but Ciwt loved it was sad to have it end..
And if you are a Kate Hudson non-fan, you too are encouraged to see Song Sung Blue. You might change your mind. At nineteen Hidson was nominated for Best Supporting actress as a young high spirited 'band-aid" (groupie) In Almost Famous and at 46 has now matured into a courageous, resiliant, middle aged woman and Best Actress Oscar zone.
