Leonard Cohen's "Democracy" is coming to the USA

[marked50]

Thought it would be nice to hear some encouragement from a Canadian (in memoriam) on how we are going to regain our Democracy in November.

1. Didn't he pass away recently? How could he be coming here? nt

3. He passed away in November of 2016. He left us with a lot of good music tho....

The "coming to the USA" part was just the continuation of his song lyrics.---sorry to mislead you.

edited title and gave explanation

9. Oh, I see. "Hallelujah!" nt

2. Sail on...

How did you know I needed me some Lenny? My favorite performer.
Coincidentally, I just fired up his last album before his exit. It was playing in the background while I was running around here. Met him at McGill U once when he came for an impromptu concert.
Can’t remember the year.

Welcome to DU.

On edit... I should mention I’m in Michigan, Canada is in our backyard.

Found this place very early somewhere around 2004.
Then I had a few thousand posts under another name quit and came back in 09.name was “just in *******” . Had relevance then, can’t remember.

6. I think I had signed up too earlier but it doesn't show. My first exposure to Leonard Cohen was the

following in 1971. I was mesmerized by the song and the movie.

10. Here is hoping that it comes

11. I was just talking about Leonard last night!!!Only it was another song...

"Everybody knows." And all you can think of when you hear it is Trump and the GOP. And their deceits, slanders, lies, stupidity...

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows...

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

13. They play "Everybody Knows" at beginning of Justice League movie

suggesting superman's death as such a tragic loss. Like democracy before Trump and this cult of Republicans

12. Always loved his voice and his style.
