I was not introduced to Leonard Cohen by my parents, but had to discover** him for myself. And I am lucky to have found him at an early age... though sadly (and it's kind of ironic as I go to a school in Canada full of Jewish people.... and I am neither Canadian by birth nore Jewish as Leonard is) ...

Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On
In creating a mix to introduce someone to Leonard Cohen, would you or would you not include "Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On"? My judgement on whether or not to include it is skewed by how much I adore the song. I wish I'd heard it several years ago. When I first read about it (here) I cou...

What on earth do you all make of the story of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha at the great feast? (She spills the wine and it spreads over everything, the table, settings, guests, even outside.) I'm puzzled over it. It seems to be completely random. The narrator says he thinks the story is 'apocalyptic', ...

Beautiful Losers reading project
I mentioned in another thread that my father and I are reading Beautiful Losers together over my Spring Break (although we've gotten behind, so finishing the book will probably take a lot longer). Manna suggested I start a thread about the experience over here. This will be kind of random, so I'm go...

Re: Beautiful Losers
Hi Beccka, I'm interested to know two things - your age, and how reading the book with your father works. Do you read chapters simultaneously and then discuss them? Okie...sorry to steer the thread off course again...and I can't say people didn't warn me...but, we're 47 pages into Beautiful Losers ...

John's got a point about kids raised on Cohen rebelling against or tiring of him...I'm the only one of my seven siblings who still likes him, and even I went through long periods of not listening to some or any of his music. Kids will rebel against anything if given the chance. Laura: yeah, I was wo...

You have quite the Summer Break ahead of you, Beccka :shock: :lol: 8) . Your relationship with your Dad may never be quite the same :) . I'm really excited about reading the book. The last book we read together was The Clockwork Orange .... Beautiful Losers isn't in that category, is it? Hi John ~ ...

Ooh, I like this topic. 1) How old were you when you first listened to Leonard? The first time I remember hearing Cohen I was four, but I'm pretty sure I'd heard him previously. (2) How much did you understand of the sexual/violence references? I remember 'Suzanne' first and didn't get the sexual re...
