Leonard Cohen shared this entrepreneurial vision with a friend:

Leonard once told me he was going to come out with his own cologne. It was going to be called “Indifference,” and its slogan was going to be “I don’t give a shit what happens”

Inspired by this concept, the Heck Of A Guy Creative Department has stepped into the breach to construct the prototype ad for Indifference. From Leonard Cohen & The Sweet Smell Of Indifference

Obscure Leonard Cohen Photo Or Psychological Test?

This unusual photo of Leonard Cohen offers great potential for intrapsychic exploration. After all a projective test, such as the Rorschach inkblot test, is only an ambiguous stimuli to which people respond, thereby exposing (theoretically) unconscious feelings, conflicts, and traits. In most cases, the ambiguous stimulus in a projective test is an image that can be interpreted in more than one way.

And the Leonard Cohen photo can certainly be interpreted in more than one way. Where is he? What book is he perusing? What is he holding over his face? What’s going on in the picture? What might be going on just out of frame? Who took this photo? What motivated the photo? … In short, WTF?

While professional medical ethics prohibit me from interpreting responses to The Leonard Cohen Image Apperception Test without the receipt of huge sums of money, I suspect that anyone foolhardy enough to reveal his or her fantasies about the photo in the Comments at the link will find several folks willing to speculate on the precise psychopathology and perversions thereupon revealed.

And, anyone in a New Yorker state of mind should feel free to also include a funny caption – it all means something.

Waltzing Matilda by Tom Waits.

It seems right somehow that Leonard Cohen named this Tom Waits song as one of his favorites - just as it seems right that Waits listed Cohen’s “I’m Your Man” as one of his most cherished albums.

Serendipitously, this video rendition of the Waits classic turns out to be especially impressive.
