Then and Now: Episode 18 Middle Me
I don't think I could explain the twisted path I take to find the Then and Now songs, all I know is it's more difficult when I try to find them. It's best just to stumble over them. Happily, while tripping on this week's, I found next week's as well. And it's a 3-fer.
More than one person has expressed shock at my lack of familiarity with Leonard Cohen. With the exception of "First We Take Manhattan" and "I'm Your Man" I'm not well schooled in his music. I'm waiting for someone to be my Leonard Cohen sensei, I guess. But, this song caught my eye, namely because, well, Suzanne is my middle name.

Will I be shunned for life if I say that Mr Cohen didn't do it for me? Peter's version was a little closer :)

I've gotta say, Leonard's songs are great but his performances of them have never done it for me. Peter Gabriel's version is simply fantastic. It's been part of my collection for years.
