    Probably not, but revealing a generation gap. He's the soundtrack of many a bedsit in the 70s and 80s.

    Never have i heard such an amount of pious, self-indulgent, naval-gazing squeezed into 40mins.
    I don't see what the big attraction of LC was.

    Bowie on the other hand....

    This is like when you were told to write poems when you were in 6th class and you have to sit there and listen to each and every one of your classmates "poems", each one outdoing each other for utter shoyteness so to speak.

    Grim, grainy, cracked lino
    Miserable 40W bulb
    Cast grudging shadows
    Into the corners
    Cohen on the cassette player
    Slowly winding down with batteries dying
    Just like him
    Nobody knows the difference

    You're starting to make me feel guilty for liking LC and his music/poetry.

    Declan is cringe.
    He has talent but he always messes up a good line with mawkish sentimentality, and that nauseating tone of his.

    I don't see any connection between him and Cohen. Why was he on?

    I'm 29 and LC was well worn out in the lovesick bedsits of my generation too!

    I have an original EIGHT TRACK STEREO tape of The Leonard's songs from the 70's. Probably worth a fortune now.

    PRTB? Feck right off. I'm still waiting for a hearing date for a case I started over 3 years ago against a tennant.
