OT, this is OT so watch out:)!
Here he is at 74, and his records are now selling at the highest rate in his life. My view, the world has finally caught up with treasure that is Leonard Cohen.
He speaks to their pain/their anxiety, 75% of his songsd performed come from "I Am Your Man" and "The Future"
Why? You will not like this Rick, that massive shift of his In his album "I Am Your Man" and "The Future" turned to ultra dark and doom view of the future.
If you can hear any hope in those two albums, you are not listening???
His surge in popularity is heaven for scalpers, scalpers going rate for tickets to his Austin Concert is 1,000 dollars, money the artist never sees.(In his NYC concert, top scalp, was 3,000 dollars for best seats)
His song "EveryBody Knows" is His CORE Message, "that ALL is ROTTEN, all FIXED"(as in a confidence game)--i note he wrote that in about 1987!, way ahead of the events----he is revving up because people see he WAS singing the TRUTH BEFORE it happened.
This thread is dominated by intensely prejudicial secular atheist that think man WILL PREVAIL, they have substitute belief in some vastly mystrerious transcent power above the confines of this LITTLE PLANET in a Universe it can't EVEN SEE FEEL SMELL nor HEAR even though it is right in front of their face and all around them, the world we now know as NON-ELEMENTAL MASS UNIVERSE. But you KNOW, Rick, how PISSED i get that the vast majority of people don't even TRY get into the New Cosmology--these the same people the scream about the laziness of the herds mind, in this matter are no better, a determination to remain IGNORANT.
But i will state in songs like "Anthem", "The Future", "Everybody Knows", "Closing Time" "First We TAKE Manhattan" Leonard Cohen IS Prophet and those that believe in nothing beyond let's FEEL GOOD "we will prevail", we must, as we all that there is---are locked IN LITTLE LITTLE LITTLE BOX , and i sure can't get them out.
Man, all my frustration comes back!!! O my.
When that happens i generally go though a period of not posting(to the pleasure of many:)--it is really an act of kindness on my part.
But i leave you with VIDEOS/VIDEOS/VIDEOS!!!
Then i am going silent for sometime. That is what i do, when ever i get so PISSED that most ALL people live in LITTLE BOXES.
Cohen is of the Mystery/The Unknown/The Invisible/The Sacred beyond this HELL people WORSHIP.
