Thanks Rick-I could've googled it, but always enjoy hearing "facts"
presented by other music lovers instead of digital encyclopedias.
Cohen handles the elements of Christian dogma with respect and love,
which I appreciate.

It's a rare songwriter who can adequately approach the mystical, the
spiritual natures of love, life and community, and I relish the ones
who can. Richard Thompson comes to mind also. And Bruce.

thanks again.
