Yes, but when I generalize, I try to find the exceptions.

I know intelligent religious people, and if they cling to impossible dogmas, it's because they're terrified of the consequences of losing their faith.

If you want to know more about the late fifties and early sixties on the island, do read Peel Me a Lotus. Thanks, I'm on it now, I got a Catalan version “A la recerca del lotus” from the public library. I am still on the prologue by Jordi Bossoms, I don't know who he is, and he thrilled me. I wante...

MarieM, I hope I can visit it -or him- next summer, I hope. Henning, thank you for that beautiful poem inspired by a park in Barcelona at the time we celebrated Cohen's 75th anniversary, a wonderful memory. In 2004 in this forum we met some devoted souls of Cohen, thanks LeonardCohenforum! Jordi, Jo...

This book offers few new things. I found interesting the references to Cohen's orange notebook and an unpublished short fragment of an interview by Sylvie Simmons with Cohen. The testimonies interviewed are indirect and dubious. The most interesting would have been those of Ilana Rubina and Matti Ca...

The link no longer works. If someone keeps this audio, I would appreciate it if you could send it to me :roll: . This is a remarkable document. We had no audio and very few photos of Cohen during Yom Kippur War. The best known were taken by Yaakovi Doron and Isaac Shokal at Fa'id air base, then Arie...

Thanks B4real

‘The Partisan’ tangles up a fiddly guitar with words of the French Revolution,

while ‘Tonight Will Be Fine’ laments unrequited love with surprising assuredness.

Alan, you are right, ForYourSmile, is my username and my longing for your smile. Just for that song I could be a Cohen fan.
