Being that it's Remembrance Day, Cohen recites John McCrae's famous poem, "In Flanders Fields".

Must say good night to Leonard Cohen. I met him at the Zen Center, up in Baldy. Hiked Ice House Canyon with him once, his favorite haunt. What can I say..... Underrated and under appreciated( except by those in the know) he had a brilliant, expressive body of work.
RIP

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
As time cannot decay
I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet
Democracy is coming to the USA
To the USA

Thanks, Guido. That surely was a beautiful tribute by Cohen.
I liked Cohen's idea that a lament should be done in a proper fashion.
And his story of the six-chord flamenco progression was enlightening and entertaining.
Cohen's speaking voice is one of the mellowest. Or was...

I think he was a true genius. "Everybody Knows" is one of the most cynical but truthful songs ever written. Perfect for our times.
