Was going through Rolling Stone India's inaugural issue and there's this interview with Ringo Starr where he's asked what the worst track he had to record was, and he says Maxwell's Silver Hammer, and then he's asked about what albums he's listened to, yada yada, he says he couldn't play Johnny Cash's last album because he sounded so frail, then the interviewer says, That record can get you down.
Then Ringo says, Yeah. If I was ever down, though, I'd put on Leonard Cohen. Then you know you aren't that down.
I laughed so much. Whaddya know, Ringo, Summer Finn's not the only one who loves you.

Hahahahahaha. Ringo IS quite a stud, actually. But why does NO ONE like Maxwell's Silver Hammer? :(
John called it Paul's 'Granny Music.'
Dude. Too too cool. HOW do people take Cohen until and unless its on a Tarantino ost?
But Cohen IS good :( I mean, Ringo's comment was superfunny because hell- Cohen's one depressed guy. But his songs are steel so beeootifool. Like Suzanne, Take This Waltz...
And Sisters of Mercy. And Chelsea Hotel. And That's No Way To Say Goodnight.
Thank god for Cohen.
Also. I like Maxwell's Silver Hammer. It is joyously creepy.
sil: Not Cohen. Tarantino's used Cash but then Cash is a baap unto himself.
anushka, bnm: I'd still rather read the lyrics than listen to them.
@Pink: Girl, you'll be a woman soon. Pulp Fiction. Cohen :)
Cash is baap, either way.
Hath. That's Urge Overkill covering Neil Diamond. Arekta baap.
Haha. Amar kharap. Limewire sucks. My version lists artist as Cohen. :) Now I can definitely not stand any Cohen.
