"Famous Blue Raincoat"

Leonard Cohen - "Famous Blue Raincoat" - Germany, 1979 Most of the time you come across a few things on each subject when looking to share from 'ye old yootoob'. Well, there wer'nt alot of Mr Cohen but what was there was hard to edit. If your a fan, please go 'toobin'and check out "Ladies and Gentelman Mr. Leonard Cohen". This was my pick for best performance clip although the "Isle Of Wight" is amazing as well. I love the vibe here and of course the glockenspiel/Cohen factor is always a treat! There's noboby that can set a mood with such Quiet weight like Leonard Cohen. He seems to be one deep motherfucker, yet from what I hear and see elsewhere, he's a damn comedian and a joy to be around.. "From what I gather in this documentary he was not even a renowned singer and musician yet by which the world knows him today and yet he was already a star. Here we got Cohen the novelist and poet and ever wanderer like a little boy, although he already had his share of admirers. I love this guy very much. He is a living genius. The soul can always relate to Cohen. He is fit enough to write an extension to the Bible". "The movie is a documentary. The camera follows Cohen around as he meets, greets, sleeps, walks, ponders, and bathes. It’s well worth a look for the poetry and for the retro fashion, but I was especially struck by the ending. Cohen is a Virgo with Pisces Moon. He has Venus in Virgo conjunct Neptune at the same degree so there is another Virgo/Pisces exchange. And after the movie ends, there’s an addendum that has Cohen analyzing himself on film." "It’s very Virgoan, but what killed me is he was remarking on how remarkable it was to see himself sleeping. The thing is, he’s not really sleeping in the movie. He’s only pretending (Neptune) to be asleep. And you see him stare at his “faking being asleep” self and you can see him thinking before he concludes this is an even better privilege. "Everyone wants to know what they look like when they are pretending, right?" http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/03/04/082136.php
