Clinton, aren't you confusing Leonard with Bob Dylan? My beloved wife and I often disagree on this!

There's no confusion between Cohen and Dylan, they're both a completely different type of genius.

Cheers, Terry

Terry, of course. I was just giving my domestic diference of music taste and opinion a little Mudcat airing. I love Leonard!

Was the tv programme simly a repeat of "Songs from the life of Leonard Cohen", first shown on the BBC in 1988 and available on pre-recorded video?

Off on a tangent I'm afraid, but recently purchased 'Death of a Ladies Man' - what was Leonard thinking? More info required.

Leonard Cohen is God 1 (?)

In the 60s, when I was young and foolish, I had a t-shirt printed "Dylan for God".

THE PARENTS OF LEONARD
Tune: "The Sisters of Mercy" by Leonard Cohen
Words: Stephen L. Suffet © 2001

Oh, the parents of Leonard are wondering where they went wrong,
Their Yiddishah boy writes such meshuggenah songs,
And clearing out engrams was something they never knew,
For they raised little Leonard to be a Montreal Jew.

Now at his bar mitzvah he sang his haftorah like a mensch,
And Leonard's been singing that very same way ever since,
If you're wondering where he first learned that style of his,
He probably heard it from the moyl way back at his bris.

Oh, the parents of Leonard had hoped he would go to McGill,
A doctor he'd be and all of their hopes he'd fulfill,
Stead of singing of harlots and L. Ronnie Hubbard's strange way,
Oh, what did we do that our Leonard should treat us this way?

[Repeat first stanza.]

Yes, I know. That's why I wrote that verse. Maybe I can work on it to be lerss ambiguous. Maybe like this...

Oh, the parents of Leonard they sent him off to McGill,
A doctor to be and all of their hopes he'd fulfill...
