Managing Leonard Cohen Withdrawal Symptoms

Feeling sad? Are you experiencing a profound sense of loss and an intense longing to attend a Leonard Cohen concert? Are you already mourning the collapse of civilization and subsequent end of human life on this forsaken and forlorn planet that will inevitably take place when the World Tour terminates in December?

Is that what’s got you down, Bunky?

Well, if that’s the case, this is your lucky day.

The Heck Of A Guy Research Labs have developed the Leonard Cohen Performance Gif, an efficacious methodology for the temporary relief of acute Leonard Cohen Withdrawal Syndrome based on the model of using inhalers to manage severe asthma flareups. Watch Leonard perform for you and feel better fast. (See example below)

Biggest Influences on My Typing:

Liturgical, country, and folk music. I type very slow at first and work up a head of steam. I type the way I write, one word at a time.

What I’m trying to stress is the inner strength which will enable you to meet the inevitable and impossible moral choices that are going to confront you. What is the inner resource that you have to tap to be able to get through your life? In “The Captain” song, he says, “There is no decent place to stand in a massacre,” but nevertheless, that does not absolve us from trying to be decent. I think it’s important that we are aware that these choices are difficult, that we are humans and we live in a dualistic world, and we still have to take responsibilities for our decisions. We can’t resign from them.
Leonard Cohen - from “Songs and Thoughts of Leonard Cohen” by Robert O’Brian (RockBill, September 1987)
