I should have mentioned that I was aware of that [no direct looting, that we
know of, by US forces]. However, the invaders, with the might of countless
soldiers, and weapons, did absolutely *nothing* to prevent it - even though
other strategic targets were protected for their contents.
OK. I don't think it was deliberate, though, just incompetent. They'd
apparently taken some care to avoid bombing heritage sites, and when Iraqi
troops holed up inside the museum and shot at them from there, they didn't
return fire for fear of damaging the artifacts (this was before the looting

That is wonderful, wonderful. I am not sure why I find this sound, this music
so expansive and exhilarating. Maybe it is a combination of the acoustics

I'm not sure what the difference is between your initial reaction just below

That's quite a review of the Cohen bio. I might read it just because it should
be interesting.
I have to admit to a limited ability to appreciate popular-type music. In
general, I just don't find it as interesting as serious/classical music. There
are exceptions, but Cohen ain't one of
I liked the review as well. I totally agree that music is a personal taste;
since I've been off and have discovered youtube (smile) I have re-discovered
and expanded my exposure to music and genres, in general, which has been
nothing but fun.
You've put up some great stuff. I wouldn't know where to look.
I gave YouTube a pass for quite awhile because I thought it was only stupid
selfie videos and pop. I couldn't believe it when I discovered it was a
treasure trove of my type of music too. What an extraordinary resource.
