I'm off-line the next two days. I'll stop in to see how the "hunt" went when I get back.

Notice there are only a few men (one as of now) commenting on aging..."These women are still sexy and seductive at 80", etc. ect. like women do about LC in his 80's. I don't know what the lesson is here. Well, back to aching where I used to play. O, and although LC talks about the fact that he's ach...

Ah, I see. We'll get this "game" up and running Steven. Another one?

If it's a song in "Ten New Songs" or "Dear Heather" I don't know those albums. I'm so old school Cohen it's ridiculous.

Is it in an early or late album?

I just spent some time reviewing the postings and responses and the Board in general. I get it now. It seems to me that folks are using it for information only. It's like Facebook where folks are used to "updates" and rarely go further than pushing a like button. I've seen enough today to believe di...

I doubt LC would ever write a memoir. He's stated that he doesn't go for nostalgia. ( "A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.") Although I doubt his memoir would be nostalgic. LC seems to me to be "too good to be tru...

Nope that doesn't work. I'll try again tomorrow. More hints?

I think whoever gets the answer should take the burden off of you and be "it".

This section of "The Stranger Song"

Please understand, I never had a secret chart
To get me to the heart of this or any other matter
When he talks like this, you don't know what he's after
When he speaks like this, you don't know what he's after

I never saw this thread Steven; although I see 600 people did! Keep it up and I'll be back. (O, geez, that's some strange phrasing.)

"The Stranger Song"?

I'm trying to contribute too. I'm not sure how to improve the posting numbers. Dear lizzytysh is about the only person who has single-handedly tried to answer most posters; especially newbies. (I just looked and she's at 25,065 posts. That has to be a record!) As for me, I will try to comment more o...

Oops, sorry Mutti. Didn't see your comment. And spelled your name wrong Lizzy? Apologies. Two people commented. grrrrrr

120 people viewed this so far and only you commented Lizzie. Breaks my heart. Finally a video of two women aging beautifully who were integral to LC's life and work. I just get a sense of such beauty and mystery in thee two women; and power too. No disrespect to LC but these women "behind the man" s...

O, geez. I just found part of a poem from this poetry festival ([Poetry reading in Bisbee, Arizona, August 25, 1979) Lawrence Ferlinghetti; Drummond Hadley; Allen De Loach) where I actually got up at open mike and read a poem. I was 26, a struggling single mother who had hired a babysitter for a nig...

Thanks for the responses friends. And, Lizzie, you are too kind. You put such thought into a response. I'll take it to heart. It's strange to see this stuff from when I was so young. It brings back memories. But, as you point out Cate, perhaps some of this stuff should be put to rest permanently. I'...
