Leonard Cohen is one of the life changers for me as well. My fondest memory of his music was a strange night when I was apprenticing to be a tattoo artist. Dave and I had been working 16 hours a day for weeks, to this day neither of us remember how many weeks, and as apprentices we didn't get to chose any music at all at the shop so we had been in a sort of hell with Gus playing faux-Amerian Indian music, Steve playing nother but KISS for whole shifts, and Harold with his nouveau-Irish folk. After our shift one Friday when the shop had done really well Harold gave us half of Saturday off. Now we had been given a bottle of Oban at some point so we decided not to hit the after-hours clubs and just go back to Dave's girlfriend's apartment (she was on tour with the Houston Symphony Orchestra at the time) and just have some scotch and relax. We both had developed a love for Cohen (mine, again, through Pump Up The Volume and his through my incessant playing in the little time we had off.) So we dropped in I'm Your Man, cracked the Oban to let it breathe, got cleaned up from the pain in the ass 16 hour shift, and sometime around three A.M. we poured two glasses of Oban and sunk into our respective couches ready to let the scotch with two cubes of ice cool and relax us. Tower of Song was playing at that moment. What was strange is that Tower of Song, the CD was on repeat, was also playing when we woke up the next day already late for work with a full glass of Oban in front of each of us. We called in to the shop and told Harold to go fuck himself if he thought for a minute we were coming in and some ten or twelve hours after putting on the Cohen CD we knocked back our scotch, sunk back down into the couches, poured another round and listened to Cohen all afternoon. I am not so much the Hunter S. Thompson fan. It could be that I never read the right works of his. The author that did the most for changing my outlook was Jack Kerouac followed closely by Bukowski. That's strange in and of itself as I am a huge sci-fi fan and to this day that's my genre of choice but those two along with Douglas Coupland and William S. Burroughs probably did more for my outlook on life than anyone other than William Gibson. Well know that I've posted a response that's long enough to be a blog post in and of itself I should probably get back to work...

But I love his work and even if you don't agree with all of his points he is a piece of history that shouldn't be ignored!
