I ask,
what are morals if not just other peoples' prejudices ( pre-judgements)?

You don't see a cat or a frog moralising.
Morals are not a part of the natural order of things....outside nature in a way.
It seems to me that morals are cultural, and, a subtle human form of pecking order.
Do you like being pecked?

Mat.

I think you are right about morals Mat. What draws me to Leonard Cohen is his call for a renewal of ethics. An ethics grounded in an obedience that is not a servitude.

Jack,

good point Jack. "obedience that is not a servitude".!

That comes from re-cognition
re-flection

when one realizes, " this is the best way to proceed".

Coincidence. I think not.

Written about Edie Sedgwick as per Nico from The Velvet Underground:

Nico: After Dino, Edie was very much in love with Patrick Tilden. He was Bob Dylan's best friend. Bob had been staying at the Castle before the Velvet Undergound moved there. Bob's song "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" is written about Edie. Everybody thought it was about Edie because she sometimes wore leopard. Dylan's a very sarcastic person...It is a very nasty song, whoever the person in it might be.
