To answer your last question first, Yankovic did, enough to ask it. I have. That's two. Two, in fact, who were engaging in a dialogue regarding it. I've also wondered about others, and am always delighted [along with others who obviously care, when they make the discovery] when I see that this or that person is, or has been right along, aware of Leonard's work.
To answer your first question second, the legalization of marijuana link has to do with one's approximate age, era, ways of thinking, and hence, perhaps, prior exposure to Leonard's work. There was a cultural movement here during which a marijuana cigarette surfacing was not an anachronism. Some didn't even indulge. On that fact-or-fiction matter, ask Bill Clinton
. I do know, for a fact, however, that after I
stopped indulging, I remained present while others continued. I wouldn't have thought I'd have to explain that, but certainly don't mind.
I will never expect others to wonder about the same things I do.

WOW! Leonard Cohen and Jimmy Carter together at Pierre Trudeau's funeral. I wonder if the two had ever met before that time. I wonder how familiar Jimmy Carter is with Leonard Cohen's novels, poems and music.
