hi .... I very rarely post here. I often feel like it but my words look daft on the screen and often get binned before I even write them. I like Leonard Cohen. I wouldn't call myself a fan .. I have a live recording and various "collections of his best songs" And a few songs my friend taped for me. I love Take This Waltz. A radio guy here (who announced over the radio that I was an old listener and over 40 because he had only skim read the mail I sent him which mentioned someone born in 1952) thinks Everybody Knows is the worst Cohen song ever. I disagree The thing about differences in musical tastes Jordi posted is interesting. So what "creates" musical tastes in a person? How come a song that touches one person leaves the other so called or even annoys them? How come I rarely listen to music these days although I should? I went out last night but it wasn't the same anymore ... A couple of years ago I would have loved it. Glam night. Pulp. Suede. David Bowie. Lots of androgynous people. Glitter. Featherboas. But it being a carnival special and me being old and twisted I couldn't help thinking that everybody would just wash it off once they got home. A teenage boy tried to either pull me or make fun of my dancing and that made me feel so old. Some man my age kept staring at me cell messaging my friend (the message did not get through in the end as I had no more money in my mobile account) Plus it was so sticky I couldn't breath. Everybody seemed to be smoking. I didn't last long. have a good sunday. v/x -- Making contact gets harder As the silence grows longer (Trembling Blue Stars, Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise) http://www.clodia.f2s.com/my_site/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
