Re: the smoky life

Happy Holidays, and a Merry Christmas Eve to you, Cate, and Geoffrey, and Michael, and all the other Unwinners here, with the exception of Stanley, whom I don't know. Oh, and my love to Jarkko , a man of many intriguing fetishes (as I recall), and thus a true denizen of The Smok[e]y Life. I'll leave...

Re: there's no one left to torture

I'll try this again:

It's a beautiful song, Geoffrey, which I mistook for one of your own.

You do a wonderful job with it, and I'm sorry to hear of Kim Larsen's passing.

Be well,

Re: Is Adam Cohen signing the unused cheques of his father?

That would be Fraud and I can't believe that! Agreed. I can't believe posters here are so nonchalant about this. I don't know a great deal about Adam, but my impression of him is that he would never do that. That doesn't mean he might not be influenced by his father, but if he were to set an existi...

Geoffrey, you really crack me up sometimes.

Entertaining thread, by the way (everyone).

(Actually, there's that word again: 'crack'.) (Wrong thread though.)

Re: "Crack in Everything" post-card

Hi again. I wasn't sure if your last post required a response, only then I noticed a slight error in the line you cited from that movie we all know so well. (Seems I'm always correcting things.) .. so.. just for you cinephiles out there, the correct version of the line goes: "Play it again, Sam...

Re: "Crack in Everything" post-card

thank you, violet, for spanking me with the metaphorical mechanical corset and lifting me back into the pram. you know i have an irritating habit of shaking a tree just to see if any fruit falls down - forgive me. i believe you may be right, the drug called 'crack' first became all the rage in the ...

Re: "Crack in Everything" post-card

Before this conversation goes any further I wanted to point out something in regards to which many of you may not be aware. Yes, now that archivists are, you know, poring over LC's manuscripts 'n such (etc., etc.) it's become abundantly clear that there has been a grave error made--even by the artis...

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs

Dear Doron, Joe, Adam, Vicki, Violet, Steven, Mat and every other lovely person in this thread - I am too busy at mo to write (don't think I have anything to add anyway), but thanks for your thoughts! Let's continue to steep ourselves in LC's work - at least until we gently decouple ourselves from ...

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs

Hi everyone. I just want to make a comment concerning the creative process in general since I think it's relevant to this discussion. When an artist/writer updates or re-uses an older line or lyric (or other aspect of one's work) this shouldn't necessarily be interpreted as his/her thinking about th...

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs

Violet, you revealed yourself as the anonymous and mysterious entrant into Jarkko's competition. It's nicely satisfying, if not as a Files logo, then as an emblem for Leonard Cohen's art. Kudos. With an artist, there is the body of work that exists and remains, much of it shrouded in mystery, and i...

Re: "come forth from the cloud of unknowing . . ."

Yes, but, you can still see the death certificate -- it's not quite under the rug yet. You just have to take that leap and inquire after it 'n see what happens. Anyway, nice to see you here, Geoffrey. I just had a dream about Leonard, in fact. He was sitting across from me at long table wearing a fe...

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs

Violet, Thank you very much for all your effort. The association to Gauguin’s painting is very compelling. Another association for the “yellow sign” at the end of the poem is to the one Jews were forced to ware by the Nazis (and in some places in Europe already in Medieval times); allusions to the ...
