Repent!

March 21, 2013

Went to hear Leonard Cohen last night, quite possibly the coolest 78-year-old on the planet.  Seven encores . . . no column today.

But check out his music?  Bob Dylan meets Tom Waits meets the Doors meets Judy Collins (because he seems to cover so many of her songs, except of course it turns out he wrote those songs and she covered them).  My favorites — in order, more or less — The Future (Repent!), Anthem, Hallelujah, Suzanne, Closing Time . . . so many.

Cohen’s business manager looted almost his entire $5 million retirement account late in life — cautionary tale! — but the silver lining is that it probably accounts for his touring again.

Unlike Frankie Valli — also 78 — Cohen lip-synched not a syllable of his three-hour concert.

MACKLEMORE – ENCORE

If you liked yesterday’s clips on marriage, here’s a re-link to Macklemore’s Same Love.

OSIR

Jim Leff:  “Are you still holding OSIR? No blog updates in over a year.”

I’m selling, actually.  It’s up about 50% (or 90% if you bought it at second mention), but not what we had hoped.

Quote of the Day

"John Wanamaker found an employee in a dispute with a customer. She wanted a blouse that was being sold only with a skirt. The clerk was insisting they only came together. Wanamaker walked over to the clerk and whispered in his ear the secret of marketing: "Give the lady what she wants.""""
