Remembering Leonard Cohen (September 21, 1934 – November 7, 2016)"There are always meaningful songs for somebody. People are doing their courting, people are finding their wives, people are making babies, people are washing their dishes, people are getting through the day, with songs that we may find insignificant. But their significance is affirmed by others. There’s always someone affirming the significance of a song by taking a woman into his arms or by getting through the night. That’s what dignifies the song.Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song."Photo: Michael Putland

Hey Andy - Thanks for mention. The Man that is Leonard is sadly missed.
I have fond memories of first seeing him at dawn at the Isle of Wight and later in Weybridge in 2009. Dropped by his home in Montreal in 2019 to pay my respects.
Great anecdote Dell so glad you got to meet the man! Very envious. Isle of Wight is another swappers story that doesn’t bear repeating but . . . . Look out for today’s posts too! Some poetry +
