Cohen the Poet

More than any other songwriter does Cohen's imagery and careful use of words (and their connotations) deserve him the title poet. 'Hallelujah', though a great song, is not my favourite of his (that list could ramble - 'So Long, Marianne', 'Famous Blue Raincoat', 'Dance Me To The End Of Love'.......) I just hope that one decent thing may actually be achieved by such awful television - someone may start looking into Cohen's music, then embark on a voyage of discovery collecting other musical tastes and influences.
