Unfortunately I don't have the time today to read all the fascinating messages just yet. But here is how I feel: You got me singing, Lenny You got me singing, Lenny Even though the news is bad You got me singing The only song I ever had You got me singing Ever since the river died You got me thinkin...

Inspired somewhat by a similar post, I went through my music library and here are the songs I wish LC would cover: 1. Heroes D.Bowie 2. Everything Is Broken B.Dylan 3. With or Without You U2 4. (I Can't Get no)Satisfaction Rolling Stones 5. Me and Bobby McGee K.Kristofferson

This may interest some: there is a way to download videoclips(probably more than one...): install the (new) real player 11(from download .com or others).

Very interesting reading all of y'all's posts. Unfortunately, I'm not that much of a concert person because the surroundings at concerts usually are not very amenable for a clear and distinct experience.

I do love this quote by LC. I have to admit, however, that I do buy the latest version of reality. It's what is.

' I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch.
He said to me "you must not ask for so much".
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door.
She cried to me "hey, why not ask for more?" '

This quote accidently fell into my lap today and it made my day:


' As you get older, you get less willing to buy the latest version of reality'

Hi Cate I read your post and some of the others and I want to write you a response. Reasons for that are that I have enough time on my hands, I love lc and he has enriched my life for so many years, I love Canada and I probably have somewhat of a carmic debt to Canada... :) I first heard of lc while...

What a great day! I've been waiting for this for many years... I first discovered LC in 1969 ,I believe, while growing up in Switzerland.
