Use of Leonard Cohen's music

Post by rogerdewey »

For private use I composed lyrics to some of LC's music. Musician friends said to explore a fee arrangement so I could sell the CDs. How do I do this? Where can I send the mockup CD that is subtitled An Homage to Leonard Cohen?

This sounds like a job for you I.F! You'd better get your dungeon ready and get your whips,leather and chains out to sort this miscreant out! I'm sure agent Orange Pussy would be only to happy to help!
It seems that our boss is lost in the Book of Longing so between you and me we can do anything we please! ooh!

Greetings kwills and I.F

Glad to see you managed to break that froggy spell kwills…I’ve kissed a few frogs in my time but one has to draw the line somewhere (you weren’t even a cute looking frog)! …

Agent Orange aka Pussy Galore reporting for duty, or just call me Puss in Boots…Oooh and they’re a very nice pair of thigh length boots that go right up to my … Now where was I? Ah yes your mind is boggling again kwills. What seems to be the problem this time?

Did I hear someone mention dungeons, leather, whips and chains…Uhmm kwills have you been in my room again????

Ok Agent quiff…er… I mean kwills, what’s the plan?
By the way the Boss is on a mission elsewhere so you may have to use your intuitive on this one (G-d help us)!

Puss In Boots

Not sure how long I will keep the new avatar before a certain member of the royal household sees it and gets me to change it back?

By the way welcome to the forum rogerdewey…Have fun and don’t take things too seriously…Hope you find someone to help you with your request.

Just a quick update in what’s going on round here at the moment…though nobody really ever knows…


Our Boss Violets done a bunk with that Leonard Cohen hunk,
Kwills has no idea what’s going on.
Puss in boots is on a mission, searching for some new positions,
Some guys changing Leonard Cohen’s songs.

I.F’s got her whips and leathers, you can sometimes find her tethered
In the dark dank dungeon down below.
Puss in boots is always waiting for the man she has been dating,
When he’ll join her no one seems to know!

This place is like the twilight zone but many of us call it home,
That is something lots of us have found.
I doubt that you’ll find much decorum in this backroom of the forum,
But you’ll have fun if you can stick around!

Who knows what will happen next, most of us will stay perplexed,
No use trying hard to understand.
Kwills will end up in the bar and Puss in boots will go to far,
But that’s the way thing are in Cohen land.

Karren B

.. hi kw--uh, b.b.. and I.F.. and kissy.. [kissy it's nice to see you in these parts.. and it's good to see that you're keeping your sense of humor, as I know that might not be all that easy sometimes].. [I love the boots, by the way] [b.b.: check again the lyrics to that song] [you probably shouldn't mess with k's boots, in that case]

.. actually, b.b.. don't you realize that even though I'm off trying to save the world with Agent Longing, I can STILL radio into your quiff, which I believe is now housed under your [Agent Longingish] fedora, though the density of the hat might compromise the reception somewhat. Actually, it probably filters out anything un-noir like, I would imagine.. in which case the messages you receive from me might seem to have the plot density of The Big Sleep, for example.. a plot which (rumor has it) even the screenwriter lost track of] [and STILL it's a great flick]

[actually, this VERY subject is on my mind, as I believe I'm in the same hot water myself these days]

.. I.F.. relative to another thread [in another section] where you link to that Joan Crate person's crit of, uh, my beloved.. I..

.. well, what would she prefer?..

Suzanne takes you down to her place to do the laundry?

.. is that what she wants?

.. you can hear the boats go by.. let's hope they have some extra detergent we can borrow??

I mean, there's a difference between life and art.. [no matter how "life like" some art tries to be].. there is a difference.. and art ain't always pretty.. and it's.. well, it's a thankless endeavor sometimes.. but if this Crate person had her way, I don't think any of us would be here right now. [just thought I'd mention]

.. okay, well I've offered some revising of Leonard's lyrics just for this thread, then.. [actually, my love.. I'm missing you.. (pretty badly, in fact).. and

anyway, it's been a rough day so far, but I won't go into it right now. Just know I'm forging ahead with things.. x]

signing off for now,
b.b.'s boss, M.



later edit: I thought "Susan" might be lost on some..

later edit: I just saw I had Joan "Crane," as opposed to "Crate."

[sigh]

Hi violet, m, Boss...Don't worry i'm keeping a close eye on the little person!

And she's right kwills, not a good idea to mess with my boots...they have six inch stainless steel heels and could be classed as another one of my deadly weapons! ;-)

Ok kwills I am going undercover...have my catwoman disguise on and await further instructions!...What is the latest mission anyway?...is there a latest mission? ...Do you mean I'm dressed like this for nothing...Oh well! Just have to find something to keep me out of mischief in the meantime!

Mmmmmm I wonder where agent G went (he of Royal descent)... Oh there you are! ...Would you like to...Oooh agent G, I'll take that as a yes!
