At nearly 80 years old, Leonard Cohen seems to have discovered things about songs that he wrote forty years ago that he didn't know about them back when he wrote them. Somehow, despite the fact that he was simply trying to make a better living than what he could make as a poet, Leonard stumbled across a large cache of Truth that he has been dribbling out in his songs ever since, and we are all the better for it.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
