Is there a connection with Mt. Baldy and Lenny's bald look?

Post by rocksoff »

Is there a subconscious reason that our Lenny is drawn every now and then to take himself up to a place called Mt. Baldy? And before Lezzietuchas responds that this is an idiotic question, may I immediately point out that it is not.

If she wishes to dismiss the power of the subconscious, then that is her business, but I for one would rather not be so dismissive of the subconscious. It is a powerful motivating engine underlying much of our behaviour. Which is why I indeed wonder if Lenny's retreats to a place named Mt. Baldy are triggered by his awareness of age and his very evident loss of hair. Is it a subconscious admission of these life changes?

R,
Alternative meanings of "bald" = "unadorned; undisguised; palpable; marked with white" ~ I could go further with my response to you [several directions]; however, will let it rest with what I've just said.

Humour and poor taste make unpleasant bedfellows.

What is it with you and the state of Cohen's cranium, Rocksoff? This must be about the third time you have tried to start a discussion about it. Who cares how much hair he has!

linmag. the state of Lenny's cranium is a very subject indeed. From there emantes the man and his music. In recent yeras the man has become very light on top, in tandem with the little music he has produced. Don't you see that there is a connection here. Take a very mindful moment to focus on this and you will appreciate that his hair loss and his musical loss are not at all that unconnected.

Lezzietoochas: i have no idea what yuo are trying to point out, and failt to find it humorous by any stretch of the imagination. If you are having problems in trying to find meaning in lenny's poetry, then, I may be able to help you out. I can recommend that you again read Beautiful Losers, but this time try to do it after ingesting about half a bottle of good vino.... the words will really blow your mind.

Thanks for your thoughtful suggestion, R....however, I've recently discovered I don't really care for wine much anymore.

I've seen recent pictures of lenny, and there's no doubt that he has become quite hairless on most of his scalp. he is able to mask this by shaving completely as a Zennist. and retreating to Mt. Baldy, aka" the last refuge of the baldies."

Who cares if he thinning?
We in this Board are more intrested in the esoteric nature of the man, if you are as intrested in body parts of a man, go to a gay site and get your Rocksoff.

George Wright: I think you may be projecting your gay feelings here. If so, then please don't make any approaches to a macho guy like me.

I'm not the person going on about men's body parts and deformities, I certainly am not gay. Are you one of the village people machos?
