Re: "Elaboration of a tube" line in "Going Home"?

He will speak these words of wisdom Like a sage, a man of vision Though he knows he’s really nothing But the brief elaboration of a tube At some point during some internet research I was doing quite a while back now I stumbled upon what I felt to be a more specific and consistent seeming answer to ...

Re: mail columnist stephen glover comments on leonard's consumption of drugs

This is a fallacy. A logical fallacy: In logic, a fallacy (from Latin: fallacy, 'deception') is an argument or a postulate that seems valid, but it is not. And that fallacy has a name: Cum hoc ergo propter hoc (in Latin, 'with this, therefore because of this') is a fallacy that is committed by infer...

Re: New CD: LC - The Eternal Classic

This is not a new release. This compilation was released in the year 2008. I have looked for it (and found it) in the web page discogs.com, where it states: "CD, Compilation, Unofficial Release ": https://www.discogs.com/Leonard-Cohen-The-Eternal-Classic/release/2129304 According to the we...

Re: Darker Album in the charts

The Spanish music site jenesaispop.com states that You Want It Darker is golden disc (20.000 copies sold) in Spain. http://jenesaispop.com/2017/01/04/285216/you-want-it-darker-leonard-cohen-disco-oro-espana/ At the end, the article says (I translate): "This certificate adds to gold also in the ...

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs

Hi Violet, The "you" in the song could be played by any authority figure where a person has placed ultimate degrees of faith in. (God, psychologically, is often a super-parental figure.) I wouldn't presume any particular stand-in for God for the song writer. The potency of the song for ot...

Re: Tributes to Leonard around the world

Thank you, B4Real. I myself made a transcription of the lyrics while listening to Lil' Andy's cover of the song. I have possibly commited some mistakes making the transcription, so there are a few errors... In any case, thank you for your answer. After reading your post, I found this 1992 interview ...

Re:

(...)It seems to me that when phrases like "wisdom of old" are used in a deferential sense, that what is implied is their having stood the test of time. True, that everything was a "hit" at one point; however, the majority of those hits end up with "flash-in-a-pan" sta...

Re: Tributes to Leonard around the world

From the link you put, I see songwriter Li'l Andy was one of the performers. I have looked for him in Google (I didn't know him); and I have seen he performed "Democracy" in 2013 in the same place he did the tribute to Leonard yesterday, the Rialto, with Patrick Watson and Little Scream. W...

Re: New book in Spanish by Alberto Manzano. La historia de Leonard y Marianne

I don't understand. Why would they put a photo of Christian Bale on the cover of a book about Leonard Cohen? "Although he usually appears as a clean-shaven mortal, our research team recently uncovered evidence that Leonard Cohen has experienced the dynamic moustached lifestyle". http://ww...

This notice was published in the Spanish section of The Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.es/2016/11/30/religion-sexo_n_13318918.html); here is my English translation of the notice.
