Leonard Cohen on Kanye West

[gandalfe]

From his posthumously published book, "The Flame"

Kanye West is not Picasso
I am Picasso
Kanye West is not Edison
I am Edison
I am Tesla
Jay-Z is not the Dylan of Anything
I am the Dylan of anything
I am the Kanye West of Kanye West
The Kanye West
Of the great bogus shift of ******** culture
From one boutique to another
I am Tesla
I am his coil
The coil that made electricity soft as a bed
I am the Kanye West Kanye West thinks he is
When he shoves your *** off the stage
I am the real Kanye West
I don’t get around much anymore
I never have
I only come alive after a war
And we have not had it yet

The other day Kanye West got called a “token negro” on CNN. Woohoo!

I'm not a big Kanye fan, but that makes me think less of Leonard Cohen, who I like very much.

Context?

There was a group of panelists(?) on CNN, and one of them opined that Kanye was now the token negro for the Trumpster and conservative media, and the rest of them laughed.

In addition to referencing a psychiatric hospitalization to question his thinking.

Sounds like his meeting with Trump today was as weird as expected.

Kanye is an idiot

Ds have long verbally attacked and disparaged most black individuals who don’t vote D and get into politics. Sadly I’m not surprised by this behavior.

Fwiw, my disparaging of kanye isnt the slightest bit political

Fair enough. I’m talking professional Democrats and the media.
