Info Post
Okay, finally finished the great new Leonard Cohen bio, "I'm Your Man", and so may conclude my daily postings here keeping pace with his life (unless you clamor for it).  So to go off fittingly, here's one of his greatest songs of all, "Famous Blue Raincoat," live from just a couple years back, as Leonard continues to tour now in his late-'70s.  Couple notes from the book:  Leonard himself wore a famous blue trench coat.  And "go clear" probably--but not surely--refers to that in the Scientology, though Leonard only dabbled for awhile.  A key change in this new version, changing "his woman is free" to "a woman is free."  Sincerely, L. Cohen.
