Dear lizzy, alma matrix is a strange hybrid used by Léo Ferré in a book called, precisely, "Alma Matrix"; I think it's a poetic construction: the matrix wich has "alma" (soul); but in its definition it may has some other meanings or suggestions, for me it is "the matrix of s...

Yes, Lizzy, I sound rude because I ignore how to express, it's hardly understable but when one can't write with nuance all sounds grotesque, brutal; I'd express properly in youtube if I could... Go on, Lizzy, you're a kind of alma matrix in this page I forgot to thanks Tim also: yes, I know there ar...

Thanks, Kush, that's very kind from your part, you have behaved like a child and I am not going to answer your sad provocation. I confirm, with your example, that some Dylan fans are truly fundamentalists (and I'm not the only who thinks so). Thanks Lizzy for your kindness, wich I don't deserve: the...

Humility in Dylan... hard to believe, folks... The holy trinity, Cohen, Dylan and Waits, well, I prefer politeism and a greater rang of emotions

When speaking of the great singers-songwriters who came out of the ‘60’s and still survive today, it’s not just the duo of Dylan and Cohen, but a trio, with Paul Simon. It's always a fancy thing to see how the rest of the world simply does not exist, there's no place for the singer songwriters on a...

I really find the blind admiration for Dylan, his cohort of believers, quite ridiculous, sorry... musically, he is a poor thing, there are at least 7 or 8 songwriters much more better (not in the english spoken world, in this world I agree that Dylan may be in a third or forth place; the first is ar...

The reviewer wrote: "In the competition for the greatest lyricist of all time, there is a daunting gap between Bob Dylan and the large pack of second-place contenders. But somewhere towards the front of that pack stands the man once dubbed (unfairly) the “Canadian Dylan”—Leonard Cohen" Dyl...

Chanson pour l´aubergnat est un veritable chef d´oeuvre; il reste aussi d´autres gems dans le repertoire de Brassens; je crois que "L'orage" est inouviable, et "Penélope", et tant d´autres

Dear friends: it is not San Juan de la Cruiz, it is San Juan de la Cruz; as I am Spanish, we have study his poems at school; you show an interesting relation with Cohen; it will be also interesting to think about other mystics such as Böhme, Eckhart or Angelus Silesius, who was also a poet... well, ...

ForYourSmile: what an astonishing work of research you've done, and you arrive to such great conclusions and open so many doors. The problem in understanding Lorca is a serious one; I am andalusian and I have lived in Granada, and yet there's some essence in Lorca's words that I don't really underst...

Dear Lightning:

I present my excuses for my latest comment; I just would let you know that your latest appreciation really hurts, so I reacted badly.

I beg your pardon
