Precious few people ever paid attention, making it feel extra sweet when someone would suddenly twitch, look up at us, and ask with a smirk, "Are you trying to tell me something?"</p>WHarrisBullzEyeTue, 22 Jan 2008 21:49:52 -0000http://popdose.com/exit-music-for-a-film-leonard-cohen-the-future/#comment-94851<p>This song was my favorite part of the film, too. I liked it so much that when the CD came out, I snapped it up. It also has the song "Democracy" -- which Don Henley covered when Clinton was elected in '92.</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWka3rZE3zI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWka3rZE3zI">http://www.youtube.com/watc...</a></p><p></p>1Py_Korry1Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:08:31 -0000http://popdose.com/exit-music-for-a-film-leonard-cohen-the-future/#comment-94493<p>Makes it "seem". </p>ZackTue, 22 Jan 2008 16:59:56 -0000http://popdose.com/exit-music-for-a-film-leonard-cohen-the-future/#comment-94488<p>That's true, at an average of maybe 3 songs/year, he's no Robert Pollard. I think I got blinded by the hundreds upon hundreds of covers people have done of his songs - makes it seems like he's written more than he actually has. </p>ZackTue, 22 Jan 2008 16:59:08 -0000http://popdose.com/exit-music-for-a-film-leonard-cohen-the-future/#comment-94452<p>Add me to the Natural Born Killer haters - it was perhaps the ultimate example of style over substance, and it came out around the time I decided Oliver Stone was not the greatest director in the history of film, but rather a hack.</p><p>Cast my vote for the use of "Street Fighting Man" over the end credits of V for Vendetta. A nice lift for a mostly terrible movie. </p>reval5Tue, 22 Jan 2008 16:44:28 -0000http://popdose.com/exit-music-for-a-film-leonard-cohen-the-future/#comment-94323<p>I don't know if I'd call eleven albums in 40 years "prolific," particularly: other than that, a solid write-up on an underappreciated artist.</p>Jack FeerickTue, 22 Jan 2008 15:59:19 -0000
