["I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one"]

	While looking through the CD selection at Listen Up in Boulder, I
ran across an interesting disc -- A new Leonard Cohen release!  I had never
heard of it before, and I have never seen it on vinyl, but there it was on
CD...does anybody know if this work (which has a very Cohen-ish title...)
exists at all on other media, or if it is some sort of import?
	Being an avid LC fan, I bought the disc on the spot.  I was not very
surprised to find that it does not live up to his older stuff, but it is an
improvement over "Recent Songs," which I don't like much at all.  I'm glad to
have purchased it.
	For those of you who don't know about LC -- he is a folk singer/
songwriter in a class of his own.  His music ranges from quiet, very intelligent
music with lots of intricate guitar work to rowdy barroom-type songs.  His
closest brush with fame are the songs he wrote that were covered by Judy
Collins, including "Suzanne" ("...takes you down/to her house by the river..."),
and "Dress Rehearsal Rag."  He is definately worth listing to, especially the
"Live Songs" album, if you can get your hands on it.
