chelsea hotel #2

Post by peter danielsen »

Mostly before I go to bed, I listen to to this song. But last night I believe it made me have a nightmare. What started as a dream with nice elements, turned a to be filled with horror:

Im in a huge livingroom in a wonderful house. There is an extremly beautiful Italien woman next to me. We feed eachother sweet words. The candles are burning. Then she suddenly ask me if I would like her to do something which also was done in the Leonard Cohen song Chelsea Hotel #2 . I exept her invitation and the "ceremony" unfolds. Afterwards she tells me that her husband is a powerful mafiaboss. I leave the house with my heart beating like a kitten and fear becomes a wave...

I know I'm new here but can anything be done about this guy? When I read his posts I get a sudden impulse to go and make sure my windows and doors are locked. He's creepy.

I think this forum sometimes get used as a fantasy park for people who are less than adequate and feel we are interested in their pornographic warblings.

"Giving me head on the unmade bed
while the limousine wait in the street"

Jarrko, is it possible for you to make Leonard take these lines back. They are very disturbing to me. I want romance, real love. Leonard should be a bit more like Geogio Zamfir.

Fred - there is no comparison:-

"Then she suddenly ask me if I would like her to blow my cock".

The above is coarse and would not look out of place in an article in a magazine on the top shelf of a newsagents.

"Giving me head on an unmade bed".

Is a statement of fact.

"Giving me head" means that Janis touched his "manhood" with her lips. Thats the fact I cant stand. I mean if Leonard had just said "she kissed my lips on the unmade bed" but it is this vulgar idea that keeps comming to me.

And there is other songs : "dont go home with your hard on" or "give me crack and analsex". This is so crude I mean, maybe the forum should help Leonard realising the true values of life, the way to behave I mean.

Peter, when you joined this forum did you read the registration agreement? However I have no idea what the applicable laws are.

Fred, when I come to this forum, I am totally aware of LC's writing style and may expect to read the lines you are so offended by. Why or how are you being exposed to LC's lines that offend you? That shouldn't be to hard for you to avoid. I do not visit this forum to have to read the likes of Peter. telling us about his dream, under the disguise of discussing the Chelsea Hotel. I agree it is very creepy.

I think it needs no further comment and initially no response then it will just drift down the list unnoticed.

Last night I listened to the radio, and then creeping on me was the Future song. These texts seem to fill the air!

    2. You are almost in love with Leonard after looking at the cover photo
    on the Essentials CD
    3. You would like to be Leonard's son-in-law
    4. Feminists knock you down at public recitals of your poetry
    5. You are in a trio...no, make that duo...no..a lead singer in a Danish
    Rock Band
    6. You spent the '90s depressed
    7. You run your wordstogether
    8. You like cold beer and warm women. Unfortunately, they don't like
    you.
    9. You answer your own posts...Fred
    10. Your heart beats like a creepy kitten
There really is something rotten in Denmark.

In the UK a few years ago we had a programme which of course I have video`d and it showed LC going back to the Chelsea Hotel and the "thing" with Janis Joplin...
I suppose we should look also to to the fact that no guy would turn it down if handed to them on a plate!!!!!!!
Life is love so treasure every day.........
