I know that some girls like my songs, but a lot more like the Bee Gees. Girls like singers. There are different roles that seduce people and singer is one of them.1
Leonard Cohen
A few years before making that observation about the Bee Gees, Leonard performed their hit, To Love Somebody, at the November 5, 1980 Eppelheim concert.
I am republishing selected posts from my former Leonard Cohen site, Cohencentric, here on AllanShowalter.com (these posts can be found at Leonard Cohen). The performance was first posted February 17, 2010 at DrHGuy.com. This quotation was originally posted November 16, 2014 at DrHGuy.com.
