Name your lame duck artist........

Hey, can we redirect this post back to Beyonce and BBQ in Houston. It is much more tasty than Leonard and KY Jelly.

Cohen's responses to questions re. the deep meaning behind his lines reminded me of Dylan being quizzed at some university on the deep meaning behind a line in his song "The man in the long B;ack Coat".

The song goes......

People don't live or die, people just float
she's gone with the man in the long black coat

Someone asked what exactly did he mean when he said "people don't live or die, people just float. ( a great line with huge BS potential).

His answer - " nothing, I just needed something that rhymed with coat"

I found his lack of BS very refreshing. Now, if Cohen had been asked that.......

Once someone starts marketing themselves as some kind of a prophet there will always be people who will find genius in the most meaningless semantics.

I defer to Ben C.
'nuff said on the subject.

OK - Beyonce and KY Jelly

You have a point.

I appreciate your taking the time to explain even though I will never be convinced. Likewise, I know I could sit here praising the virtues of some great hip-hop and I know I will never manage to convert some people (not that this was your intention). There are horses for courses. I am glad that you are getting pleasure from something that I could possibly be missing though. Hey, you really should give that song a listen, the whole CD probably isn't up to his early stuff and I am left scratching my head why anybody would put it out. I would also be first to admit that I am not much of a poetry person (in spoken word) and that obviously colors my perception of the guy.
I could probably appreciate him more if he stuck to poetry and not music, or maybe music without the poetry.
I have tried in the past and I will again try to appreciate him but I hold about as much hope in that as Beyonce leaving her man for me.
