Miki Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Have you listened to Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat album ?Wonderful, sublime and it is her I first remember with Cohen in his early touring days in the UK. He helped her an awful lot but, later she also helped him to come back to the public eye..Many will of course remember her for dueting with Joe Cocker for the song "Up Where We Belong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 [quote user="Tresco"]I just saw the lyrics you posted, Dick, which reminded me of why I have always loved him.Seriously.[/quote]Tresco,Join Tina, she weaned the kids on Mr Cohen, including taking two of the lads to see him when they were still in their early teens !

Dick Smith Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I always loved the lyrics, so I was pretty pleased when No3 son (into techno etc) asked for Greatest Hits, because he enjoyed the poetry so much. "Gosh," I thought, "the lad has hidden depths." Possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Oh have no fear, I remember well just how cool it was in Richmond to have one of his poetry books under ones arm. Beautiful Losers and that Mythology thingy one are still amongst my favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I was very young and perhaps just a little too eager with my son. I think it will be many more years before he releases himself from hating just about everything I love.Still, he likes me, sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 She simply threatened to stop their pocket money if they never went with her !! Maybe he will like Cohen's Songs of Love and Hate [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
