12. Speaking of Rufus Wainwright - here's his take of Leonard Cohen's beautiful song "Hallelujah"
and here it is from the Cohen himself.....
I first met Leonard Cohen when I was a young virginal student in the Fine Arts department at Concordia. He was a personal friend of our professor, and he had an instant connection with most of the female students.In his pre-
ReplyDeleteViagra days he was a bubbling cauldren of passion who worshipped the ground women walked on, especially nubile 17 year olds. Wainright, on the other hand, is so passionate about his connection to G-d, that he gets to me on a spiritual and visceral level. Thank you for sharing such uplifting moments in song with us.
Did you ever see the film called Walking on Water? In essence a young German gay man befriends a Mossad agent whose mission it was to track and kill the German youth's grandfather who was a Nazi hiding in Argentina. He is uncovered at his son's landmark birthday party when he is brought in secretly to attend this event in Germany. By this time the old man is barely alive and needs his breathing paraphanelia to function. Turns out that the Mossad agent is not able to complete his mission because he is conflicted about killing an old man. The twist here is that the youth himself disconnects the oxygen from his grandfather's tank and tells the man who is semi conscious that he did not deserve to die naturally because he was a murderer and did not deserve to get away with it. The story closely parallels the the Demanjuk saga, but D. will feel the pain because he is in much better health than the Opah (grandfather) in the film was.
