Forty years later the klezmer-noir of Leonard Cohen’s ‘I’m Your Man’ LP remains the most radically successful reinvention of any of the major songwriters from the 1960’s. A moral and geopolitical hellscape staged as Vegas review. One part Rat Pack, one part Leviticus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZOT...

Received this new David Bowie book and had a lovely brunch with two formidable, incredible women at the Middle Eastern restaurant Kubeh near Union Sq. Irit and Aleksandra were my colleagues at the NYU Center for the Study of Antisemitism last year. Both are experts in law. #musicsky #nyceats #NYU

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish, smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to
No I, I could never follow

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

“At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
At times I think there are no words
But these to tell what's true
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden”

My first book of the postdoc read-a-thon is complete! I gave a four star rating to this fast-paced, adventurous read about the harrowing experiences of the navy and merchant seaman in the arctic during WW2. Recommended. #histbookchat #read #ww2 #naval #militaryhistory

who are you now
and who were you then
that you thought somehow
you could just pretend
that you could figure it all out
the mathematics of regret
so it takes two beers to remember now
and five to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what
