But then again, his songs really are timelessly true, aren't they? The crisis callers in today's world ring out so loudly. It is hard to escape them. Your words are strong, meaningful, touching on so many aspects of today's news. And yes I can see Leonard Cohen sitting on the floor strumming his guitar making sense of everything somehow...dissenting in his own unique way!
