Of course we have our anthem too:
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Seriously -- I see how one might argue about /some/ of his songs, but
let me say just one word:
Suzanne.
Anyone disliking /that/ song must have inhaled too much petrol fumes
while working offshore.

Funnily enough. It was when I was working offshore I gave up listening
to pop music.

Averted!
Praise be to the GEMA who protected me from whatever song may have been
lurking in the video...

Never read it; I've heard that in a nutshell it's about some suicidal
depressive guy. Not sure what that has to do with "Suzanne" though --
while varous of Cohen's songs do indeed tend towards the dark blue end
of the spectrum, I don't think "Suzanne" falls into that category.

You wouldn't call Cohen's music "pop music", would you?

24 seconds, I lasted. And that was pushing it.
I would rather listen to something like this.

Well there was a whole movement of youths that read it and didn't live
to be anyone's ancestors.
I may be a wee bit biased. I grew up going to parties where there were
whole rooms of girls swooning over the thought of a romantic death. And
the boys competing with each other over who was the most lovelorn*. It
really put a dampener on things.
And none of them had taken drugs.
I suppose it was pre-goths.
And I don't do introspection, either.
*That may just have been a ploy for nefarious reasons.

Yes, I would. (For most values of popular.)

Tsk, tsk.
Now I'd call you a peasant, but that would be an insult to farmers.

As a novelty -- interesting.
As something to listen to a second time -- nah.
Definitely too much petrol fumes.

The difference is. I would listen to it again in a couple of years.

BTW Where do you think we got the petrol? The nearest petrol station was
either in Bergen or Lerwick and helicopters don't use petrol.

Last time I checked, petrol is a component of crude oil, right?
