Oh yes…I can relate to this Elsa. I was introduced to Cohen when I was about 14-15. I love him. He’s probably my favorite poet, and I don’t even necessarily read poetry (though I write it). I would recommend him to any 15 year old (although most might pass him up not realizing how alluringly intelligent he is)!

(sings) “With one hand on a hexagram and one hand on a girl I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world. We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky. And lost among the subway crowds I try and catch your eye… “

Elsa-bean, thank you. What a lovely post to wake up to.

I was a romantic child too, with big romantic dreams like you.

Neil Young has been my drug of choice lately. Recently I saw “Heart of Gold”, a movie of a poignant live show he performed with a lot of friends a few days before he was to have major surgery. I came out of there so Neptunated, my heart opened up so wide. “Comes a time when you’re drifting..” oh yeah.

I guess I’ll have to get used to being open for a while.

Elsa, I am so grateful for your friendship and touched by your story.

Much love,
Molly

hi Hannah! (waves)

Molly, how ironic. How Neptooooon.

I had known the AMF about a week when that song came up. “Do you know that Neil Young sound, Heart of Gold?” he asked.

“Oh yeah. Of course,” I said.

He looked me right in the eye and told me he thought he’d found one. Mine.

“What?”

He just hugged me.

THAT’S the AMF? Yeah, he does look like Leonard Cohen!

Didn’t mean to but, does the AMF look like Leonard Cohen?
