Thread Name: Very strange Leonard Cohen story
Subject: RE: Very strange Leonard Cohen story
I have no idea whether this L.C. story is true or not, simply because I have read nothing to substantiate or refute a link between L.C. and MK-Ultra.

As a music lover, I am still naive enough to believe that the music I have been listening to for the last 60 years was not put out there with the express purpose of controlling my mind, other than to sell a few records of course. Beyond that, I would have to regard such efforts to have been a futile waste of time and resources, and doomed to failure as I have never mastered the art of controlling my own mind from engaging in its erratic ramblings.

If the accuracy of this story can be judged by the statement made by Guest.AD at 22 Jul 12 - 01:26 PM

"Nobody here has ever heard of MKULTRA mind control, although the EMI label was set up by British intelligence during the Cold War, expressly to reach and control the minds of young people via rock and roll."

then I think this should confined to the BS section.

The EMI label was set up when? For what?

I think Guest.AD should read the History of EMI, and in particular the section 1930 - 1949. EMI was around a little before the Cold War and Rock & Roll.

Dream on! I think I'll stick to my naivety, thanks.
