Leonard Cohen: The Future
A song to suit these troubled times. It is the title track from Leonard Cohen's 1992 album The Future.
All my friends in London (haven't been there for a few years, but we're still in contact) and my sister (married to an Englishman) are weeping and/or going crazy nobody thought that Leave! would win.
This song by Leonard is one of his most disturbing but maybe he's right.
I've already commented somewhere that if this goes on, Trump gets elected, the Austrians might elect a fscist too as president then I give up hope!
The intelligence experiment in evollution has failed - at least in the human species!
What's going on in England, Jonathan?
