Leonard Cohen, With a New Album, ‘Old Ideas,’ Was Never Popular But Always Profound – Tablet Magazine

To go to a Doors concert was to stare at the lithe messiah undressing
on stage and believe that it was entirely possible to break on through
to the other side. To see Cohen play was to gawk at an aging Jew
telling you that life was hard and laced with sorrow but that if we
love each other and fuck one another and have the mad courage to laugh
even when the sun is clearly setting, we'll be just all right.
