The old man is back - just in time for the down times

You and I aren't the only ones going through closets looking for things to sell and additional ways to scrape together some coin. And while the bankers may have robbed our accounts - at least it wasn't our lovers who emptied our pockets...

The only good news - well, all this bad luck has put old Leonard Cohen back on the road. Sorry Leonard - tough for you but great for all of America which hasn't had the pleasure of hearing your baritone pipes croon some old classics... The morose tone sung on favorites such as 'Chelsea Hotel' and 'Suzanne' can be heard here (thank you NPR) at his first US performance at the Beacon in over 15 years....

So long retirement.... looks like everyone's working a little harder for a little less these days.
