ok silly I know, but it was running through my head when I read this
I fought against the bottle,
But I had to do it drunk –
Took my diamond to the pawnshop –
But that don’t make it junk.
I know that I’m forgiven,
But I don’t know how I know
I don’t trust my inner feelings –
Inner feelings come and go.
- Leonard Cohen
I saw Leonard in Edmonton last May. He is 75 years old and he performed for over 3 hours. It was the best show I'd seen. I went away satisfied but later could think of at least 6 or 7 songs that he didn't perform.
Great blog topic idea.
Here's another one.

Is the way those thoughts can please you."- Monsters of Folk.
Lorena: We used to have neighbours like that! ;)
Brett: I had a recent Bruce Cockburn awakening, and had a hunch that Leonard Cohen had to be next. You have now confirmed that suspicion. That first one is awesome.
