Neil Diamond claims he wouldn't have become a musician if it weren't for the Brooklyn Dodgers moving to Los Angeles. The "Sweet Caroline" singer -- who began his career in the 60s -- was so broken up over the news that his parents encouraged him to pursue music to help cure his depression. “I went into a real funk and it prompted my parents ... to get me some guitar lessons just to bring me out of the funk," Diamond asserted. "And I found something that absorbed me completely for the rest of my life.” [The Daily Swarm]
