Oh it was fun. I always thought it was about Hendrix, but what the hell do I 
know? You had me searching the net Kate for clues. LOL I did a search for 
Leonard Cohen sites and came up with this one. WOW, if you like Cohen, check 
this out. www.leonardcohenfiles.com Indeed yet another labor of love. 
Everyone there seems to agree that Rainy Night House was written about 
Leonard Cohen Did anyone know he was ordained as a Zen Buddhist monk on 
August 9, 1996, when he was given the Dharma name of Jikan (Silent One)? He 
has a new live album to be released November 21st. There is also a new poetry 
book he is putting the finishing touches on. Here is a new poem he has 
written: 
GOOD ADVICE FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME

behind the pain
someone is rejoicing

behind the torture
there is love

who's going to buy
this bullshit

if you don't become the ocean
you'll be seasick
every day

See now if you hadn't started this, I wouldn't have stumbled on this site.

Thanks Kate
