One song I forgot to add to the list was, “There Ain’t no Cure for Love”. It’s also true that there ain’t no cure for Cohen. Once you have Cohen in your bloodstream, there’s no getting rid of him. The man has followed me everywhere – from school to home, from England to France and Spain, from single to married life, he seeps into your every pore and simply refuses to leave. Although attitudes to LCS, as it’s now known, are more tolerant than before – largely due to greater numbers of sufferers (and I have played my part in the spread of the disease) – still in some circles people with LCS are treated as pariahs People ;who would smile benignly at an Elvis fan who still believed the King to be alive; openly sneer at you if you admit to being a Leonard Cohen fan.
“The doctors working day and night, but they’ll never ever find
That cure”
My Epitaph
Her body here like seed is sown
- One who loved life – and Leonard Cohen
I will put some links on to sites about Cohen and the tour. Just want to express the emotions first.
Until we meet again, my Sisters of Mercy!
