I feed crows and they will take as many peanuts as they can fit before they fly away…

Shoulda gone to Belize.

I also heard this song as a Cohen song.

As a interesting aside, he performed at the Isle of Wight festival. Before he performed, there started a riot on the Isle of Wight. Well, the beginnings of a riot but the producers of the production decided they needed to get Cohen on stage. So, at 1-2am in the morning, they bang on Cohen’s trailer saying, “Mr Cohen, we need you out here!” Blah blah blah…

They are doing this and the crowd is going bananas. Burning the stage, lighting shit on fire in the audience, you know, the general shit you might do in an inattentive security force (I can’t speak to that). So, the crowd was kinda out of control.

So, Cohen comes out and he’s got slippers on, his PJs, he’s dressed for bed. And he gets on stage and looks out at everyone and he says, “Does everyone here have a match?”

And everyone is astounded at this statement because of course, everyone has a match?!?

Cohen says, “Can everyone who has a match, light it?”

Everyone lights their match.

“Take a look around, all those matches are people.”

Then he started to play his first song, no idea which one. The crowd calmed down and took care of people the rest of the weekend. They didn’t light the stage of fire again, they didn’t burn any cars. It was a very peaceful concert, because of Leonard Cohen.

I love this story about Cohen so much because he could be a performer and a calmer.

So, wait, the chainmail isn’t made in America? What’s the fucking point?!?

Oh, for shame!

Man, check the vibe. YouTube isn’t exactly welcomed here.
