[Songs of Love and Hate by Leonard Cohen is another album that is rich with lyrical imagery.] He can conjure up imagery that the rest of us only dream about,.. I enjoyed that journalistic world, but now I see it from the other side of the coin: I've lived the life, but you have to be so careful now because of the tabloids. I met a couple of attractive young women after a gig recently, and it wouldn't have been difficult to pursue this certain line they were going down. But it looked like a honey trap to me. You have to be so careful these days. The fun's gone out of this game.
