If there is a God, he's gotta look just like Leonard Cohen.

I was dismayed to find that the young singer my friends hired for their
wedding (typo was "weeding", how apropos!) reception in Vancouver BC had
never heard of Leonard Cohen. Her accompanist on the guitar had at least
read some of his poetry, and was interested to hear that he wrote songs.
(They were doing requests, and I was plying them with the names of every
Canadian singer/songwriter I could think of, and coming up blank--the
singer then going so far as to say that all the Canadian singers that
went to the US had sold out, which still makes me laugh, especially when
I think of Leonard. I'm just hoping she looked him up after we talked!
Well, maybe she at least has gotten K D Lang's "Hymns of the 49th
Parallel".)
