Jay, I'm not the world biggest Cohen fan — can't get Suzanne and the boat by the river from my head — but loved your lede, and have always appreciated Cohen as a person and also Hallelujah. I like the Buckley and Rufus versions, but favorite has always been the Cale, live in a church in Toronto, I believe. That's the snippet behind Donkey in the great first "Shrek" movie, but they couldn't get rights for the soundtrack lp, I believe, and replaced it with the Wainwright. If you want to find the Cale it's the last song on the live album Fragments of a Rainy Season. BTW, all through the guitar-lesson anecdote I was guessing it would end with Segovia, not suicide. Life always intrudes. Also: absolutely align with the other 2 comments!

I love that and couldn't agree more.
It’s the only way forward using disagreements as an opportunity for something better.
