Leonard Cohen was like a treasured secret that the mainstream didn't know about or simply didn't like.
Cohen inhabited the lives of students in bed sits hippies zonked out in the corner going over and over the lyrics and the emotions that came out of the speakers.
Then he suddenly becomes public property in his twilight years and tours the world with all manner of people covering his stuff and teenagers weeping over his emotional and spiritual power at live concerts.
Once the public took ownership of him I kind of lost interest and that's my excuse for not even knowing he released an album in 2012 called
Old Ideas.
I'm loving that one more than the new one just now but that's just now.
I feel a Cohen posting frenzy coming on ......
