Thank you to Judas Priest, for sharing Jim Sullivan's review of: "THANKS FOR THE DANCE".
Of course, every person is entitled to his or her review.
To each their own.
I, for one, could never be disappointed with anything related to LEONARD COHEN.
His books of poetry....or his songs....or his record albums.... confirm to me only one particular
thought and more specifically, one particular truth ~~ and that is:
=> There is nobody like LEONARD COHEN
I don't remember all the details concerning that day a Columbia Records CEO invited
LEONARD COHEN into his office, telling Leonard that his new album "Various Positions"
would only be released in Europe: Not in Canada. Not in the United States.
{ I believe the year was 1984 }
When this big shot Columbia executive was taken to task by LEONARD COHEN,
the corporate troll snapped back by saying.....
"Leonard, I know you're great, but are you any good" ??? !!!
{ meaning our beloved LEONARD COHEN doesn't sell enough records in North America }
It turns out the LP: "Various Positions" included the song "HALLELUJAH" on it
and the rest is history.
For the record (pardon the pun)....
>>> Millions of people, worldwide, have heard of LEONARD COHEN <<<
We've even got Leonard's picture on our Canadian Postage Stamps....
and here in Montreal, we've got a mural of our beloved poet, drawn on a
tall building on Crescent Street, which is frequented by local folks and tourists
from all over: LEONARD COHEN IS LOVED & ADMIRED BY EVERYBODY
Question: What was the name of that big-shot Columbia Records executive who asked
Leonard if he was any good ???
