Respite From Heck Of A Guy Posts Brought To You By ISP Fiat
Internet access has become an overwhelming if intermittent problem.
For the nonce, bandwidth restrictions have effectively rendered creating the characteristic prolix, overproduced, footnoted Heck of a Guy post difficult to the point of impossible unless I have two or three hours to spare.
I’ve decided instead to devote whatever extra time is available to more gratifying and less frustrating activities – say, inscribing the book of Habakkuk on a soap bubble.
Rather than surrender altogether, however, I hope to provide viewers with a bit of entertainment (beyond imagining my anguish).
The Man Who Wrote Suzanne A Hundred Years Ago
Today, for example, I am showcasing a little seen, recently uploaded video of the 1969 Leonard Cohen performance in Germany during which he forgets the lines to Suzanne and substitutes an improvisation, “I’m The Man Who Wrote Suzanne.”
In case anyone else has forgotten how the song actually goes, the video player below shows Leonard Cohen singing Suzanne as an encore to a German TV concert in 1979.
As for the blog, we’ll be back to abnormal as soon as possible. Your patience is, of course, appreciated.
Darn. Wish I could loan you some bandwidth.
