A young and handsome Leonard Cohen backstage at The Starwood with Devo. Let’s see, that’s Bob Dylan’s pal David Blue in the front row and the girl is Martine Getty.
rare 1967 photos of Leonard Cohen taken in Montreal by (Cohenites help me if i spell this incorrectly) Gabor Szilasi.
Anyone else have vintage Cohen snaps? Feel free to photo reply on this post.

cool shoe, bro.
"Roshi said something nice to me one time. He said that the older you get, the lonelier you become, and the deeper the love you need. Which means that this hero that you’re trying to maintain as the central figure in the drama of your life—this hero is not enjoying the life of a hero. You’re exerting a tremendous maintenance to keep this heroic stance available to you, and the hero is suffering defeat after defeat. And they’re not heroic defeats; they’re ignoble defeats. Finally, one day you say, ‘Let him die—I can’t invest any more in this heroic position.’ From there, you just live your life as if it’s real—as if you have to make decisions even though you have absolutely no guarantee of any of the consequences of your decisions."

Just take this longing from my tongue,
all the useless things my hands have done,
let me see your beauty broken down,
like you would do for one you love.
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.
