Oh well, you know what I meant. I just wanted to post the link to the video that you mentioned with the couples dancing. It was still working for me 5 mins ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIdZ-rRnUkg&NR=1 Can't say I'm the most sentimental person around, but it almost broke me up.

Since MTV and music videos had not been born, all I had to go on was the sound," made me remember being told that it was the movie "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" which featured Leonard Cohen's songs, so worked into the story being told that it gave rise to the idea of music videos. I don't know if that was true, but I remember the movie (barely) and it was, in much of, like that. This line, “He was so old, after all—well over thirty!

Opening lines: The captain called me to his bed And fumbled for my hand "Take these silver bars," he said "I'm giving you command" The song also includes the lines: "I know that you have suffered, lad But suffer this awhile: Whatever makes a soldier sad Will make a killer smile" I don't pretend to know exactly what Cohen meant by this song, but I always think of the lines above when leftists express their dislike of those who use force in a rational and legitimate fashion ("soldiers") while at the same time applauding terrorists who pursue orgiastic violence ("killers"). An interesting Cohen song, which I believe dates from the 1980s, is “The Captain.” Opening lines:

The captain called me to his bed
And fumbled for my hand
“Take these silver bars,” he said
“I’m giving you command”

The song also includes the lines:

“I know that you have suffered, lad
But suffer this awhile:
Whatever makes a soldier sad
Will make a killer smile”

I don’t pretend to know exactly what Cohen meant by this song, but I always think of the lines above when leftists express their dislike of those who use force in a rational and legitimate fashion (“soldiers”) while at the same time applauding terrorists who pursue orgiastic violence (“killers”).
