Sorry, LC has ... ( 1 week ago by JackMDT8888)

Sorry, LC has talked, written, sung and strung, for 40+ years about his life and experience. Perfectly.
This is about what he sees as the future. If he was that smart about the future he would have seen that the bizz manager that he later married would rip him off for every penny he had while he was in a Budhist retreat.
Believing that Coconut Colgate Con-Baraka Hussien Obama, who has hoodwinked the US and the world, when in a year you'll see nothing has changed, is his mistake. And I love LC.

Holy Shit
Jack etc.
Ya got to know
It's some kind of love
That makes this world go around
As we know it...
No Mistake!
I hear Leonard's voice forever
I hear you for now... :))

Jack you do know ... ( 1 week ago by losttango)

Jack you do know this song is from 1992? The fact that it fits the current situation so well as to be receiving a huge cheer on every date of Cohen's current European tour is a happy co-incidence, or if you prefer a validation of the man's vision. I think there's quite a bit more irony here than you give credit for too - the line "on a visionary flood of alcohol" is fairly significant, I'd say. (Incidentally I know what you mean about Obama, but I'm sure LC does too).

Didn't know it was ... ( 1 week ago by JackMDT8888)

Didn't know it was from '92......and any irony doesn't shine thru clearly enough. And I'm a Brit.....irony is the source of most of our humour.......Yanks don't get it at all............and I've seen far too many people that I know are very smart actually get sucked into believing the Obama bullshit.
This isn't really the place for one of my political cynical rants......I'll just leave it at that I don't think this is one of LC's best.

It is so weird that he wrote this 16 years ago. How prescient of him. Brilliant.

Brilliant. Absolutely bloody brilliant

Yeah Democracy is ... ( 1 week ago by llothar)

Yeah Democracy is comming to the USA. What a bullshit. I know its old. But everyone who believes Obama is the Messia is stupid as hell. He is just another Wall Street grown ni**er. And he is doing his Uncle Tom job very well.
Fuck all this Princeton and Harvard lawyers.

well history suggest that people may be a bit overly optomistic... like blair in britain in 97... but it has to be step in the right direction.. surely?????

Yay! for USA and Obama!!!!!

But it is not a step in the right direction.
It is a fog grenade of the rich just to keep you feel good. Like John Lennon said before you are "Doped with religion sex and tv".
Democracy is just the dictatorship of the stupid 50%.

Yup, too much ... ( 5 days ago by pirateontherun)

Yup, too much cynicism hereabouts. When he did this in London (13 Nov) the place went bananas. Part of it is no more Dubya, but there's more to it than that.

Don Henley sung it at the Inaugeration of Bill Clinton.
Which just goes to show.

I do not see how ... ( 2 days ago by octareenroon91)

I do not see how this song particularly relates to Obama. I suspect it's your own obsession. Your posts offend me as much as mindlessly pro-Obama stuff must offend us both.
American government was designed to prevent the "tyrrany of the majority", as your "dictatorship of the stupid 50%" is more often described. Hopefully it still can.

Oh Leonard.... why ... ( 1 day ago by zastro52)

Oh Leonard.... why don't more listen to you? This one was timely in the early 90's... timely now.

Obama is keeping ... ( 1 day ago by zookno)

Obama is keeping much of the same policies as Bush dumb bitch, nothing changes without violence, read your history book.
He is not taking troops out of Iraq and he is not raising taxes on the rich nor fix anything....what are you like 12? Fucking moron

I think what this ... ( 1 day ago by sbromley26)

I think what this video tries to communicate is that our problems are systemic, rooted deeply in our laws and customs. I have to agree that violence might be the only means by which we can really change.

Array ( 1 day ago by Tommigril)

@zookno
Oh my, do you think calling me names means something about which viewpoint is right or wrong--instead of reading a history book you might want to look at what has happened within the last 8 years before you try to sell anyone that argument.
It is easy to be brave when you sit behind a keyboard and can spit vitriole at someone you disagreement. It takes more courage and wisdom to realize that everyone has a viewpoint and to respect that viewpoint. I am neither dumb nor a moron.

I am neither dumb ... ( 1 day ago by Tommigril)

I am neither dumb nor a moron as I am sure you are and whose actions would be if you just acted on your more mature nature rather than the childish impulses evident in your post.
As for violence being the answer to change....! that speaks more about you and your character than about any answer to the nation's problems.

OOpa I meant to say ... ( 1 day ago by Tommigril)

OOpa I meant to say I am neither dumb or a moron as I am sure your aren't either and whose actions would be if you responded to your mature nature rather than to the childish impulses evident in your post.
Sorry I had to do a second post, I just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't calling anyone dumb or a moron.

Bush managed poorly ... ( 1 day ago by zookno)

Bush managed poorly, Obama will do the same, I told you, look at history; violence is the fastest way to change.
About me, 29, Masters Degree, great job with a 500 company...I don't need your lectures.
Your opinion is shit.
People like you are weak and are killing America.

you better go find another snow bank and cool yourself off -- why are you responding if my opinion means shit!!!!
Violence kills!!!!
