    Leonard Cohen will forever remain as great as his songs and always greater than anyone of his songs.
    He is present ubiquitously in all his songs ..a true poet and troubadour.

    "I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
    I love the country but I can't stand the scene
    And I'm neither left or right
    I'm just staying home tonight
    Getting lost in that hopeless little screen
    But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
    That time cannot decay
    I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet
    Democracy is coming to the USA" Oh boy...

    Amazing how people equate Democracy to a certain political party or individual. As Glenn Greenwald said recently in an interview the elite are just as comfortable sitting with the controlled politicians from the left and right. Leonard sang a line in this song similar to that as well. George Orwell told us what the plan is of these elite. Why do you think censorship and cancel culture is becoming so prevalent among other movements these days? As Sting wrote....I have only come here seeking knowledge...things they would not teach me in college. What did they teach you in college and why?!!!!

    I'm so Crazy (2001) is a Song by Italian House Duo Par-T-One. the song was classed as being 'Punk-House' due to the video being very much like a Punk Concert as people were doing the Pogo to the music, and the main singer having a resemblance to a Skinhead who was violently shouting SHUT IT JUST KEEP WALKING STOP THE TALKING

    • @ofs82

      I assume this is the "homicidal bitching" in the third verse.
      Or, they just might be using irony - it's "strong language" as in "powerful". Plenty of Lenny's songs could be considered powerful lyrically, that's for sure.

I had no idea what that was.. i was 13 or 14.years later I came across LC and his song so long marianne.. there is no greater singer/songwriter alive now. Every song speaks worlds.
