I'll have to look up the K.D.Laing and Choir of Hard Knocks' covers too now :-)<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment, Shae.Paul Burmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794317430080282991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099666866629504207.post-55522555721387097302011-05-20T00:51:04.486+10:002011-05-20T00:51:04.486+10:00Oh the joys of trolling the internet!

I also enjoy the versions by the Chior of Hard Knocks and K.D.Lang.<br />PS, the novel sounds great!Shae Sprynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099666866629504207.post-69944414479067241762011-05-19T08:17:25.418+10:002011-05-19T08:17:25.418+10:00Strange how something keeps cropping up, ain't...Strange how something keeps cropping up, ain't it, Mike. As for the drowning, yep, I believe that Jeff Buckley did drown (in the Mississippi?), but the concert I was referring to was an LC job. They both do a wonderful job with this song, and there's lots of tremendous lesser-known covers around too.Paul Burmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794317430080282991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099666866629504207.post-18518560170788527232011-05-19T02:16:04.293+10:002011-05-19T02:16:04.293+10:00Funny enough I was listening to this on the way ba...Funny enough I was listening to this on the way back from walking the kids to school today - one of my favs - I also( whoops ! ) thought he had drowned and had died( as you tend to do when you drown ) but must have mixed him up with someone else!Saphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011633594577425975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099666866629504207.post-22202486173574462292011-05-18T19:38:27.496+10:002011-05-18T19:38:27.496+10:00Well, doesn't LC say something like 'your ...Well, doesn't LC say something like 'your love is cold as a razor blade' - or something like? Throwing yourself off a cliff would be an appropriate homage, I'd say :-)<br /><br />But please don't.

It's a wonder I write anything at all!<br /><br />Leonard Cohen - one of Mr T's favs. He (LC that is!) makes me feel like throwing myself off a cliff though - give me Michael Jackson any day:))Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.com
