One of the most honest performances ever. Hell slowed to a low rumble when he sang that song...

the tears are real in this complex song about male friendship (homoerotic? probably)...it is a folkrock version of shakespeare's sonnet 23 or the forth act of 'as you like it'... ...len has always loved women but, my god, only morrissey, bowie or lou reid have ever written better songs about men who love other men.

Leonard Cohen is amazing. Also Julie Felix is a FOX man.

This is extremely irritating. I think this man is a musical genius and a true poet but I can't appreciate his songs properly because I really don't like his voice. It's the same with Bob Dylan.

haha. i think it is. much unlike the scat-o-logical jester, who improvises rationally sequenced, melodic noises... while wearing a jester's hat
