Leonard Cohen "Democracy"

Back



One of the most fascinating and enigmatic -- if not the most successful -- singer/songwriters of the late '60s, Leonard Cohen has retained an audience across four decades of music-making interrupted by various digressions into personal and creative exploration, all of which have only added to the mystique surrounding him. Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon), he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century, which is all the more remarkable an achievement for someone who didn't even aspire to a musical career until he was in his thirties.

This song is the best. One notch above The Future. No one compares with Leonard Cohen. He is the only one in his category!

Incredible song. I've been listening to this one since it came out in the mid-nineties. Every line counts.

Bob Dylan has no chance in comparison to Leonard Cohen.

I don't see how Obama, McCain, Clinton or any of the rest represent me in any way. I wouldn't piss on one of them if they were on fire. Two party politics is a giant scam.

You are a fucking moron, we are a constitutionally limited democratic republic ass-hat!

Typical Sociopath Lying Liberal. Always trying to infect our Freedom with your poisoned Collectivist Philosophy. America is a REPUBLIC first and foremost where its reps are democratically elected. The Constitution is a document created out of the Philosophy of Individualism to protect the Sovereign from your constant demand upon the people for Altruistic Sacrifice to the Collective !

This is a good song for the election now. We got an eloquent black man and a woman in waiting vice prez... they are probably like all the rest, but at least it is something like a revolution.
