Neil Diamond is the Jewish Elvis, but he's also a mean mother of a neighbor. That's right, don't even THINK about adding 13 feet to the height of your edifice if you live next to the Solitary Man. After all, he's Neil Diamond, and he's earned his right to some privacy.
I'm totally siding with Neil on this one. A demigod has to feel free to expose his hairy chest to the elements on occasion, and you can't expect a superstar of Neil Diamond's calibur to do so in the shadow of a "large-copper clad structure and steel beams." It's unseemly.
