Too bad Rubin didn't pick a real legend, like George Jones
From Rolling Stone:
Rick Rubin is hoping to do for Neil Diamond what he did for Johnny Cash. The producer -- who revived the Man in Black's career in the Nineties with the Grammy-winning American Recordings series -- has revealed to Rolling Stone that he is producing Diamond's next album, the follow-up to 2001's Three Chord Opera.The record will mark a slight change in direction for Diamond, moving away from his recent, lavishly arranged crooner material to his stripped-down singer-songwriter style of the late Sixties. "This is more of a songwriter's album than a singer's album," says Rubin

Yes, George Jones is a real legend. I saw him in concert recently, and he still sounds great.

"Real legend?!" Get YOUR songs covered by Urge Overkill, then we'll talk, bitch-ass punk!

I guess you have to sell in before you can sell out.
