As the story goes, Neil Diamond and James Taylor were up in Asheville after a concert smoking some hog leg sativa bud one night while getting liquored-up on shots of Wabo Gold and watching a Gamecock/UNC ACC basketball game in the late sixties ... Taylor was doing heroin too, at the time, and popping Lemon 714s and Rora's - chill buscuits, by the handful.
So anyways they get into a squabble about each of them wanting to right a song for the Gamecocks - so Taylor wrote Carolina in my Mind and Diamond wrote Sweet Caroline.
UNC fans were angry because Taylor is NC born and bred and they felt betrayed, so he eventually acquiesced and let them use the song up there in chapel hell because he was receiving death threats, plus his heroin dealer over in Smithfield (where they make the hams) had cut him off from the primo low-melt smack ...
... and Diamond later found out that Caroline Kennedy liked his song and wanted to claim it as hers, wanting to tell everyone that he wrote the song for her, the spoiled little bitch ... and who's going to deny the Kennedys anything back in the late sixties, amirite?
But they were both written about the Gamecocks. Everybody knows that.
