One of the most fascinating and enigmatic -- if not the most successful -- singer/songwriters of the late '60s, Leonard Cohen has retained an audience across four decades of music-making interrupted by various digressions into personal and creative exploration, all of which have only added to the mystique surrounding him. Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon), he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century, which is all the more remarkable an achievement for someone who didn't even aspire to a musical career until he was in his thirties.

Sep 14, 2008 - Students of political science can tell you that the USA was set up as a representative democratic republic. "Republic" means that the source of sovereignty is the people - not a monarch - but the government can be democratic or not. China is a Republic. England is not. Representative democracy means that instead of Athenian style direct democracy, the people elect representatives. The people who spread the "America is a Republic not a Democracy" line are mostly wannabe fascists. Heil Cheney.

Sep 19, 2008 - This is a good song for the election now. We got an eloquent black man and a woman in waiting vice prez... they are probably like all the rest, but at least it is something like a revolution.

Sep 19, 2008 - Typical Sociopath Lying Liberal. Always trying to infect our Freedom with your poisoned Collectivist Philosophy. America is a REPUBLIC first and foremost where its reps are democratically elected. The Constitution is a document created out of the Philosophy of Individualism to protect the Sovereign from your constant demand upon the people for Altruistic Sacrifice to the Collective !

Sep 21, 2008 - I don't see how Obama, McCain, Clinton or any of the rest represent me in any way. I wouldn't piss on one of them if they were on fire. Two party politics is a giant scam.

Oct 9, 2008 - This song is the best. One notch above The Future. No one compares with Leonard Cohen. He is the only one in his category!

Oct 11, 2008 - How can another human synthesize all that I have tried to express for my entire life? Sometimes it's hard not to create a god out of his genius and his god-voice.

xabixnaq Says:
Sep 9, 2008 - True, it is a Republic. Also true you have no class. It was set up as a Republic because those attending the Constitutional Conventions had no confidence that people, perhaps like yourself, had not the interest nor insight to make an informed decision through a popular vote. Lincoln lost the popular vote. Benjamin Franklin said when asked, that, "We have a Republic, if you can keep it". Can you, oh guru of finite wisdom, that so willingly dismisses others as "fools" awaken to the "coming"?
