What's more ... ( 2 weeks ago by Traveller000001)

What's more frightening: "The powers that be" guiding the reins of power or the fact that its the way it is because no one's truely in control at all? Love Cohen though. He's a true poet.

the poetry that is ... ( 2 weeks ago by grealakittay)

the poetry that is this song is past black or white or red or blue - it's reaching for truths beyond colour - and truth lays far beyond colour - the colour our necks are or aren't is what we have to work with, to overcome, and put to behind us as something of positive but limited value...

For once LC has got it wrong.....he's better talking about the past than the future

LC writes his ... ( 1 week ago by gagakym)

LC writes his experience, perhaps you listened wrong or you disagree. That be you , not him.

Sorry, LC has ... ( 1 week ago by JackMDT8888)

Sorry, LC has talked, written, sung and strung, for 40+ years about his life and experience. Perfectly. This is about what he sees as the future. If he was that smart about the future he would have seen that the bizz manager that he later married would rip him off for every penny he had while he was in a Budhist retreat. Believing that Coconut Colgate Con-Baraka Hussien Obama, who has hoodwinked the US and the world, when in a year you'll see nothing has changed, is his mistake. And I love LC.

Holy Shit Jack etc. Ya got to know It's some kind of love That makes this world go around As we know it... No Mistake! I hear Leonard's voice forever I hear you for now... :))

Jack you do know ... ( 1 week ago by losttango)

Jack you do know this song is from 1992? The fact that it fits the current situation so well as to be receiving a huge cheer on every date of Cohen's current European tour is a happy co-incidence, or if you prefer a validation of the man's vision. I think there's quite a bit more irony here than you give credit for too - the line "on a visionary flood of alcohol" is fairly significant, I'd say. (Incidentally I know what you mean about Obama, but I'm sure LC does too).

Didn't know it was ... ( 1 week ago by JackMDT8888)

Didn't know it was from '92......and any irony doesn't shine thru clearly enough. And I'm a Brit.....irony is the source of most of our humour.......Yanks don't get it at all............and I've seen far too many people that I know are very smart actually get sucked into believing the Obama bullshit. This isn't really the place for one of my political cynical rants......I'll just leave it at that I don't think this is one of LC's best.

all his work is from the heart from The Partisan and genius .But he's LC not some JC

It is so weird that he wrote this 16 years ago. How prescient of him. Brilliant.

Brilliant. Absolutely bloody brilliant

Yeah Democracy is ... ( 6 days ago by llothar)

Yeah Democracy is comming to the USA. What a bullshit. I know its old. But everyone who believes Obama is the Messia is stupid as hell. He is just another Wall Street grown ni**er. And he is doing his Uncle Tom job very well. Fuck all this Princeton and Harvard lawyers.

well history suggest that people may be a bit overly optomistic... like blair in britain in 97... but it has to be step in the right direction.. surely?????

Yay! for USA and Obama!!!!!

But it is not a step in the right direction. It is a fog grenade of the rich just to keep you feel good. Like John Lennon said before you are "Doped with religion sex and tv". Democracy is just the dictatorship of the stupid 50%.

Yup, too much ... ( 3 days ago by pirateontherun)

Yup, too much cynicism hereabouts. When he did this in London (13 Nov) the place went bananas. Part of it is no more Dubya, but there's more to it than that.

I do not see how ... ( 18 hours ago by octareenroon91)

I do not see how this song particularly relates to Obama. I suspect it's your own obsession. Your posts offend me as much as mindlessly pro-Obama stuff must offend us both. American government was designed to prevent the "tyrrany of the majority", as your "dictatorship of the stupid 50%" is more often described. Hopefully it still can.
