Dear Heather Album Cover
Have any of you noticed anything familiar? The colors and the lettering of the album cover made me think of the cover of Leonard Cohen's book, Stranger Music. Was this intentional? They both have the same shade of blue.

Aha! You've started the thread [more or less] that Bee wanted me to. Perhaps your comments are what she meant by "so Sixties" ?
The comment I wish to make regarding the cover is that the drawing is exquisitely simple and elegant, and appropriates a look of admiration and love in the woman's eyes. It also confirms ~ for all time ~ that Leonard most definitely knows how to draw. The choices that he makes to clarify this skill may not always line up with others' expectations, but this drawing clarifies any doubt as to his ability.
Now, Bee , since when is a line drawing locked into the Sixties? The drawing appears quite Eastern in influence with its simplicity and its minimalism in lines to convey the whole. Okay, now I'm ready for your onslaught of artistic explanation, since you are an artist, and I'm most definitely not ~ nor have I studied that arena. So, defend your position, whilst I hold to mine .
Love,
Elizabeth

~ Well, at least the look is indelibly on the page for Leonard, as well as us. Yes, it does sound like a line Leonard would use! Almost to the extent that one might wonder if he saw the film at some point, early on.....with its influence later showing up in one of his songs.
So, is Joan rejecting him in the course of this line? The temptress in her snazzy, red gown? Now, she loves only his music and the memories of her love, which his song invokes?

Sorry...it wasn't Joan and Johnny Guitar after all ...they were just making a withdrawal when The Dancing Kid and his men busted in and robbed the joint. But the evil Emma Small is convincing everyone that it was Joan and Johnny.
Oh, now, Joan is wearing a beautiful white gown with a black string tie and a narrow black belt in contrast to Emma Small who is wearing drab black dress with a narrow white collar. Joan is playing the piano with her dress billowing around her.
Here's a good line, I can just see Leonard saying this....Joan to the vigilantees: "I'm just sitting in my own house...playing my own piano...is that a crime."

On No! The vigilantees have just hung Turkey Logan and now their going to hang Joan in her beautiful white gown.
