Hi Everyone,

I know I haven't been round much and I'll try to be around a bit more often.

I was reading somewhere, forget where it was
That Leonard Cohen sang the song Chelsea Hotel #2 for Janis
I do know that they were "good" friends at one time

Do you know the song I'm on about?
If so what do you think of it?
If not here it is for you to enjoy

Yeah, I know the song. My favorite song about Janis is Joan Baez's In The Quiet Morning.

I never heard that song before. I think it is cool to hear songs or opinions of how janis affected other people.

I kinda dig the song, but dont think much of Cohen for exploiting his relationship with Janis. Was very disrespectful of him to sing it the way he did, why the explicit descriptions bout them? It just turns me off him as a person and the music he makes.... But I seem to be in the minority on that, still I had to be honest
