When I was in college, back in 1962(ouch), Neil had a cousin who lived in my dorm. He came to visit once and of course, everyone came to the reception hall to see him.
His words? Never forget it.

"Hi everyone, I'm Neil Sedaka, it rhymes with 'cracka'. OK, we were in Massachusetts but even we do not cay 'cracka'.

Not impressed then, not now either. He is going to perform in a nearby town soon. Guess who will not be going?
