Twood, could it be that it was you, whom I promised to ask that guy for some Cohen recording?
I remember sending that guy 3 messages, but he never replied. And after a while, I thought I should send the person on ER at least a message that I never got an answer, but by then I wasn't sure anymore, who it was, and the old messages were deleted from the inbox...

Was it you? If so, I hope you got the recording meanwhile.

Hi Nico,

Yeah it was me. But the Live In London album came out which was enough to keep me satisfied!

Oh have you been at this show?

No, but it's pretty much the same... including the jokes!

Yep, I know, and I've only seen 2 so far. One last year in the summer, one in the winter and in about two weeks I'll go see the one in Berlin. I'm still hoping for The Avalanche...

But it looks as if he wouldn't do it anymore...

Have you met him?

No. Why? Did you?

No. Sorry! didnt want to get you all excited!

I only asked because i saw you had a picture with Sharon Robinson (i think!).

That's just because the band was around, when there was this reception thing at the Beacon in New York. They were really nice. Especially the Webb Sisters and Mr. Javier Mas.

I haven't made my mind up on the Webb Sisters.The gymnastics bit is a tad odd.

And have you ever noticed their shoes? I wonder how they can do those wheels with such high heels. Actually, it's not just the heels - it's the complete sole...

I've always wondered what Leonard Cohen fans think of Randy Newman's parody.
He said "It's like Leonard Cohen's, but on a lower moral plane."

Is parody the sincerest form of flatter? Or is this a put-down?

"I saw your name, baby
In a telephone booth
And it told all about you, mama
Boy, I hope it was the truth
I took down your number
Looked up your address, Sue
And I was hopin' that maybe
You could love me, too"

"I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
And then I'll jump from the shadows
And try and catch your eye
Gonna run my fingers through your hair
And love you everywhere"

"Now I don't want to get too romantic
That's just not my way
But when I get my arms around you
I'm gonna rock you all the night
Gonna rock you all the day"

"Suzanne, you won't know it but I'll be behind you
Don't try and run away from me, little girl
Wherever you go I'll find you
And when you go to the pictures
And I know you do
Don't take no one with you
'Cause I'll be there, too
Suzanne"
