Seven years -- given or taken? Thank you for your lovely words and spirited assessment of the rabid attacks and willingness to engage in an intelligent discussion of LC's "Master Song," David. I am sorry you left The Forum; but, that does happen and I understand it since I, too, departed all such discussions years and years ago. I did want to make one post and when I came to so do, I discovered your email so, I elected to take advantage of that discovery to thank you for yours. You done good
. I am genuinely grateful.
FYI, lightning, you might wish to know each online essay (or partial interpretation since why give away for free the entire exhaustive analyses destined for publication in book-form, duh?) that I did post online contains (at least) two glerrors -- and, my neologising and long-winding ways continue unabashedding since, not only have I now surpassed Shakespeare's record for same, the entire world now engages in the practice you first witnessed in the Leonard Cohen NG a dozen or so years ago -- for the simple reason that, should anyone steal the work, I could prove it easily without involving lawyers, litigation, yadda-yadda-yawn. Make sense, given the DMCA and related copyright issues? Good
. Right now, I am a signatory in a suit being pressed by a group of Canadian writers against Google books, in fact. I am sorry you did not have the opportunity to read other pieces I did allow Jarkko to post online because you would have discovered the pattern, a sly but very effective way to ensure my original works stay that way. Pas de sweat; your ogle-ops shall improve exponentially should my plan work for LC and the true-b'losin community (
a.k.a. my two fan
).
Have a nice daze (and, although I am no longer in touch with hardly anyone here [and will not return to this thread], I do have some very good news to announce later this [or next] month concerning that book I had planned to write on LC's five masterpieces, the set I call Cinquo de Leo); in the meantime (and I do hope it has grown less mean), my two fan here can read about my wonderful journey carrying the Olmypic Torch by visiting
http://www.globeandmail.com/books and, beneath "Recent news and features from Globe Books," you will discover a link -- "Torch 'n' glow (or touch 'n' go)" -- describing that glorious day that earned the ultimate compliment from the world's greatest artist, one I am sure kept me alive during my time in the hospital this past week or so, one I am sure will inspire me to continue to soar when you hear of the project I now have in store, the one I conceived post-surgery for lookin'-good-2-B-gone Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, the one I am certain will prove so fine and right and good when it comes to the truth of the fact of the matter LC is abso-deffo this world's contemporary Shakespeare. Hallelujah! Stay toned . . . more to come . . . via other "channels" . . ..
Undeniably, Judith Fitzgerald (who loves you all so very much and wishes you always and only the very best)
