Managing Leonard Cohen Withdrawal Symptoms

Post by DrHGuy »

Feeling sad? Are you experiencing a profound sense of loss and an intense longing to attend a Leonard Cohen concert? Are you already mourning the collapse of civilization and subsequent end of human life on this forsaken and forlorn planet that will inevitably take place when the World Tour terminates in December?

Is that what's got you down, Bunky?

Well, if that's the case, this is your lucky day.

The Heck Of A Guy Research Labs have developed an efficacious methodology for the temporary relief of acute Leonard Cohen Withdrawal Syndrome based on the model of using inhalers to manage severe asthma flareups.

The concept underlying the Heck Of A Guy Leonard Cohen Performance Gif is suspiciously simple and straightforward: the pain of Cohen withdrawal is transiently attenuated and abated by the subject viewing a few seconds of an especially intense Cohen performance.

Pragmatically, this is accomplished by providing fans with an animated gif of selected performance sequences by Leonard Cohen, such as the one shown below.

Nice effort, Dr. Heck, but it will never work. As we all know: there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure.

Us in the UK are feeling down as we were missed out on this tour.
Just tell us he will be in the UK next tour and we will buck up a bit.

Dr H Guy - thanks for my daily script ... it helps ...
lightasabreeze - I agree. I'm practising my dancing moves and saving up for my polka dot blouses. Roll on the UHTC return to the UK ...
