    Hey, that first line is Leonard Cohen!

    Thanks! (I’m currently trying to find a way to display lyrics from that song, and this was my best shot.) Here it is again, with the Leonard Cohen text added to the post:

    [Description] A poster with two hands in pink gloves, each holding a fist, with a message written underneath. The poster says, ` [Text] We are living in [newline]  a plastic time [newline] (and we're living in it hard) [newline]  We are the 99% [newline]  The [newline]  1% have [newline]  the wealth and [newline]  the power and the [newline]  control [newline]  and we will not go away [newline]  We are the 99% [newline] (They are the 1%) [newline]  We are living in [newline]  a plastic time [newline] (it breaks our bones) [newline]  You
  • You like Leonard Cohen? You have very good taste, Frank. Do you like any other songwriters?

  • I do, yes. In fact, “I love Leonard Cohen but I’m not ready to see him perform live yet” is one of my most enduring regrets

  • I’m sorry you never saw him perform. I regret having not seen Eddie Van Halen live so I can relate.

  • Yeah I saw Eddie Van Halen live a long time ago when he came to Cornell as part of something big and I was in a dorm room where there were 3 people and 4 mattresses (I’m paraphrasing) and I spent the whole concert just yelling “hey E-Dog! you’re not supposed to be this much better than David Lee Roth!” at a wall in the back of the room

    I think I might have gone through some kind of crisis that night, but who knows

  • You know, Kurt Vonnegut was a Cornell alumnus. I bet he’d have enjoyed talking to you, Frank.

  • Maybe, but I bet he would have also considered me annoying and spent a lot of time trying to avoid being seen by me
