ok so I have always had a thing for Lenard Cohen, the first time I heard him was in high school i was 17, as I drove my mom to the sioux falls hospital in a blizzard as my dad was being rushed there.. I didnt know what was going to happen or happening but my mom and I didn't speak the whole time. but when we got to rock rapids (35 miles from sibley) I turned on Augustana college radio as I always did when i went to sioux falls and they were playing a live show by lenard from the early 70's and it was crazy good, all the songs were about jesus, and dieing and love and it was the perfect spooky and beutiful soundtrack.. to the silence and the wonder of what was going to happen.. ofcourse everything turned out good, but that was the day i found out my dad had been smoking.. WHOOO got something to hold over his head now..
anyway..
ofcourse I was glad he made it and got his health turned around and I'm also glad I discoverd leanard Cohen then as well..
NOW FOR A LITTLE Lenard cheer i found on youtube...
what the fuck is this person doing, and how bored could they be......
