Leonard Cohen vs. Justin Bieber

[Gang-Twanger]

Looks like Bieber's got a nugget! :lmao:

Nah..... Just low-hanging 'nads, that's all (He's actually 47 years old, but he had facial reconstructive surgery to reverse the aging process... Guess he missed that appointment for the 'nad-lift though).

Boy, it must suck to only be able to wear women's clothing. He tried to wear a pair of men's pants one time (size 22 waist) and went missing for 3 weeks. They had to send in a search-monkey (He had the little coal-miner's light and everything).

That's how kids near me dress when they're addicted to prescription pain medication.

There was bubblegum nonsense when Sinatra was around, too. That's all it is. I think the only thing more lame than the kid's responses to Bieber not winning, is old mens' predictable responses to the kid's responses. They're like 10 years old. Why would they know who Leonard Cohen is? I certainly didn't when I was 10, yet not a month ago I was sitting beside a friend of his at his concert here in Chicago.

That low-hanging outfit is actually the result of all the 8 year olds pawing and grabbing at him when he goes out in public.

The shoes are cute though.

Back when I was in Ice Cool, 1971-75, if somebody had showed up lookin' like THAT, he would have had to get those drawers surgically removed from his Posterior, they would have been "Wedgied" in THAT tight...I cannot fathom how THAT "Look" is considered "Hip", "Cool", or whatever in any manner..Never understood the sideways/bassackwards hat business, either..

Can't address Bieber......IMO packaged garbage. Cohen , well one of my buddies loves him. Not my cup of tea. Certainly better tham most modern garbage. He always struck me as music to slit your wrists by. OK I'm ducking now!

I don't think anybody but him thinks that that is cool. Its certainly not a fashion that is sweeping the nation's youth, at least in that extreme iteration.

Cohen's voice and sensibility are not to everyone's tastes, but he is one of the few legitimate poets who has adopted the song lyric as a medium of expression. If you're into him, his turns of phrase and insights into the human condition can leave you literally breathless.

IMHO, no one handles the twists, turns and ambiguities of sexual relationships better than Cohen. And he's a pretty damn good social critic, even if his world view tends to be rather bleak.

Comparing Bieber and Cohen in any way is really laughable. The only thing they have in common is that they are both singers and recording artists. It's a little like comparing an eagle with a tadpole -- or a grizzly bear with a puppy.

Or a product with an artist.

Yes, exactly.
