* One night after a Very Be Careful show in Westlake I met one of those hip indie SoCal kids you see all over, a guy from Long Beach who said he was named Neil. He said he was named after Neil Diamond. He said it was because he was Salvadoran, and Central Americans love giving their kids famous or out-of-the-ordinary names. I was with a friend who is Guatemalan, who is named Daffodil, and we all agreed this was true and had a great big laugh. Then someone points me to this: Venezuelan Parents Love a Famous Name. Enjoy.
