I know you're joking, but clearly you've never seen it performed by a rando with a guitar in a nursing home.

For the residents, clapping to Sweet Caroline is the highlight of their day.

Not that there's a high standard in nursing homes, but that song in particular seems to light the people up. Considering what hell such places can be, I can't help but appreciate the heart-lifting power of Sweet Caroline.

I’ll listen to it on the radio a few times before I decide if I like it.

But I'm not there for the new song try out, I'm there to listen to the good stuff I already like

Why go to a show when the replay button is, like, right there?

My home setup isn't quite on par with a live concert. If it was then hell yeah I'd just do that
