I keep hearing Leonard singing "Everybody knows."

"Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows"

But I'm an old activist with a good memory, so I also hear Don Henley's "All She Wants to do is Dance" and Pat Benetar singing "Invincible."

Thanks for this.

Powerful shit this is. Thank you, Greg for putting it all together and sharing. And thank you, Lizzie Lizard Brain for your old activist memory of Don Henley and Pat Benetar.

Greg, what’s the beef behind your dislike of Christgau? Does it go back to the Seventies?

You haven’t really connected the dots here.

Cohen was a sadistic Talmudic supremacist with genocidal fantasies.

His songs are not about the past. It’s about the FUTURE that he and his psychopathic death cult wanted to inflict on the world.

His former partner Ann Diamond has testified to this as well.

Wow, Jonas. First I’ve heard this. That’s quite horrific and heartbreaking if true.

It really sent chills down my spine. But now you cant unsee or unhear it.

I have been obsessed with this song since it was released. "It's over, it ain't goin any further"
