Leonard Cohen goes back to his roots in a conversation with Arthur Kurzweil.
This is a must-to-read piece, with many rare photos,
now posted at http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/arthurkurzweil.pdf

This conversation, between Leonard Cohen and Arthur Kurzweil, took place
on the morning of Tuesday, November 23, 1993, in a conference room of the
New York office of Random House Publishers, on the occasion of the
publication of Leonard’s book, Stranger Music: Selected
Poems and Songs. At the time, Arthur was editor-inchief
of the Jewish Book Club and he selected Leonard’s
new book as an offering to the book club’s over 20,000
members. Arthur requested an interview for The Jewish
Book News with Leonard through Leonard’s publisher.
An abbreviated and edited version of the following
conversation was published in The Jewish Book News in
January, 1994, and appears on the web in various places.
This is the complete conversation - never before published anywhere.

LEONARD COHEN - Show Me The Place

Show me the place, where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, I’ve forgotten I don’t know
Show me the place where my head is bend and low
Show me the place, where you want your slave to go

Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can’t move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began

The troubles came I saved what I could save
A shred of light, a particle away
But there were chains so I hastened to the hay
There were chains, a lot of chains like a spade

My favourite song on the new Leonard Cohen album!
