The closing track of I’m Your Man, Leonard Cohen penned this as a statement about the songwriting craft. Speaking to Q Magazine’s Adrian Deevoy in 1991, he said, “Tower of Song is that place where the writer is stuck. For better or worse, you’re in it. I’ve come this far down the line. I’m not going to turn around and become a forest ranger or a neurosurgeon. I’m a songwriter.”

Some of the most brilliant lyrics ever written:
I see you standing on the other side
I don’t know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We’ll never, we’ll never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell, don’t know when I’ll be back
They’re moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you’ll be hearing from me baby, long after I’m gone
I’ll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song

The three Blues chords, which are also the basis of Rock’n’
Roll, are always the same pattern. Somewhat unimaginative
in my opinion. But what Cohen makes out of it is just brilliant.

Now even the last Pam fan finally knows:
Only Leonard’s unmistakably deep, casual
tremolo puts her in sheer orgiastic vibrations.

At least astrologically (Gemini & Libra) they seem to fit together. But only apparently. Because her elevated Mars in Aries would have deterred the gentle, secretive and diplomatic songwriter.
The 4 kings of horror. 2 Yankees and 2 Brits.
3 Geminis (2born on the same day, the third

My father was also born on 26 May (1936). He
had exactly the same hair. As I also discovered
them in Samy Molcho (born on 23 May 1936).
I can now even tell from the position of the
teeth which sign of the zodiac someone is.
Just today with a disgusting socialist. I
immediately saw that she had Alison Mo-
yet’s tooth position. And lo and behold!

I recognize “Geminis” immediately:

Twin has a special meaning here.

Yes, it’s surprising: Their physical shells resembled
each other strikingly, whether their respective karma
stages were also synchronous is difficult to estimate.

Again, I have to tip my hat to Pam Geller for “introducing” me, after a fashion, to the late, great Leonard Cohen and his mesmerizing music. He was still alive and was doing what turned out to be his last show in NYC – and Pam, the eternal fan, went to his show – and then wrote about him and featured some of his recordings. From there I followed him on YouTube and was forever fascinated about the man, his life and, of course, his music – and always intertwined with various and fascinating women. I will be forever grateful to Pam for this wonderful introduction to a truly unique and super-talented poet/songwriter! RIP, Leonard Cohen!

Tomorrow is 80th anniversary of beginning of WW2. It is nonsense, of course,
that the war began with Hitler’s invasion of Poland. A war never starts with the
first shot, but has a long history. This article from the British rather left-wing
“News Statesmann” reflects as always only a part of the truth.
https://www.newstatesman.com/2019/08/hitler-s-long-shadow
They misspelled the name
Fuchs (fox) in their headline.

One has to imagine that before the end of the 19th century Germany did not exist
at all as a state entity. And now as an emerging economic power, as a thriving centre
of science and research, a thorn in the side of the established British Empire, which
gathered its wealth all over the world. This German was to disappear from the map
as quickly as possible, for it would be a highly unwelcome competitor. The quotes
and lies which were already being spread at that time are astonishing, because we
do not invent them in our newspapers and textbooks. The elimination of the emperor’s
monachy through internal decomposition and communist revolution was only one
element of the war against Germany. There was even a “Munich Soviet Republic”.

On the military start of the Second World War on 1 September
1939, the war against Germany never ended. It is still being fought
today – but without bombs. In the first part of the two-part series on
“100 Years of War against Germany”, the new ExpressZeitung juxta-
poses the historical picture taught in textbooks and disseminated by
politicians and the media with officially accessible sources. Even doub-
ters of the official historiography may be surprised how much the image
conveyed to us deviates from the actual events and backgrounds by
simply misrepresenting, distorting or omitting important facts. In the
second part we will then present the modern “civil war” against Germa-
ny, which is waged on all fronts of political, social and economic events…

An ancient wisdom says the truth dies first in war. Or that the “ruling
historiography” is always the “historiography of the rulers”. The two
world wars are no exception: It is undisputed that the First World War
and the Treaty of Versailles were essential factors in Hitler’s seizure
of power, but the fact remains that Germany was not only not “solely
to blame” for this first war, but that the Allies had already been pursuing
the goal of starting a war against Germany since the beginning of the
20th century. The defeated Germany was then treated disproportionately
harshly, which drove the impoverished and desperate Germans into Hit-
ler’s arms. The Second World War was the worst tragedy in German his-
tory: mass bombardments, expulsions and famines raked millions away.
The extent of the atrocities inflicted on the Germans at that time is rarely
accurately described in official historiography, which is based on Germa-
ny’s main guilt for World War II. Probably to avoid crumbling the myth that
the Germans were the only “perpetrators” at that time, which served as
an instrument of power. https://www.wisnewski.ch/zum-1-september-warum-der-krieg-gegen-deutschland-nie-aufhoert/

Federal President Steinmeier will bow his head in Poland tomorrow 80 years after the beginning of the Second World War and lay down wreaths, and Chancellor Merkel will fly to Warsaw surprisingly. So far everything is in order and not to be criticised if there were no outrageous demands for reparations from the Poles. Outrageous because they are demanding almost a trillion euros in cash and do not mention with a single tone the huge territories that Poland has taken from the Germans since 1918.
Although the Polish demands have currently also been raised by Merkel’s stupid refugee policy, there is more to it than that. The Poles are smelling the morning air. Although the majority of the German population is against reparations, the communist wall murder party SED-LINKE is already in favour of payments and other politicians are also wiggling.
The biggest scandal is that not a single politician in the brainwashed Germoney knows the history and talks about what Poland has done for us from the Versailles dictatorship to the Eastern Treaties without any rights. Today, one third of Poland is located on former German territory. It’s not surprising that there’s silence about this east of the Oder-Neisse line.
First in 1918 the so-called corridor was illegally removed from Germany, and then Churchill moved Poland west with a few matches on Stalin’s orders, and from then on our eastern border was de facto the Oder-Neisse line (see illustration). The question is, are more than 108,000 square kilometres worth nothing? Not to mention the millions of displaced persons and dead as a result of new border demarcations.
The final sum Poland wants has not yet been mentioned. A large Polish monument in Berlin with a Polish documentation centre, the restoration of various historical buildings in Warsaw and Cash are all under discussion. The focus is on 1 trillion euros.
In passing, our politicians should be reminded that after the Polish trillion, another trillion euros will go to Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Italy, France, etc. on the upwardly open German stupid scale in the house.
