Anyone a fan?
I've started reading about him online after seeing one of his songs played on a music video show last night.
Plus he is mentioned in Kurt's lyrics for Pennyroyal Tea.
Listening to his song samples now on Allmusic.com
Anyone recommend any albums as starting points?

Can't help but chuckle that you're saying a 78 year old is 'washed up now'. Damn, I hope I make it anywhere near that long before people start writing me off
The guy is an amazing poet...

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in...
Saw him in London on the same tour...mesmerising performance, quality band too!
Songs Of Love And Hate is my favourite album, includes 'Avalanche' also covered by Nick Cave on From Her To Eternity.

Got mine for $10
Not enjoying the songs on CD 2, the first few are not bad.
CD 1 is magic.
My sisters name is Marianne if it were translated to it's Croatian form.
And we don't talk haha, so long!
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --
She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
-- sincerely, L. Cohen

You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
His show at Scandinavium, Gothenburg in 20....09 was so amazing. You could tell he had gotten older when he came back in like 2012/2013 though.
