For Black Friday, perhaps the most important holiday of all as far as American retailers are concerned, Heck Of A Guy, appropriately enough, presents for the edification, entertainment, and titillation of our viewers, an ad.
According to Ad World, the site where I discovered this Black Friday ornament,
Liaison Dangereuse is the most exclusive Online-Lingerie-Store in Germany. Their claim is “Sexiness for everyone. Everywhere.” And they really mean “everyone!”

Do I Have To Dance All Night (1976 version - with Laura Branigan)
has become the second Heck Of A Guy Leonard Cohen video to pass 10,000 views.
For details about this video and the often overlooked but outstanding song on which it is based, see the section under the heading, Do I Have To Dance All Night Film Festival in the far right column of this page.
The video montage of favorite scenes featuring the singer-songwriter, poet, and icon offered in celebration of Leonard Cohen's 75th birthday, September 21, 2009 garnered its 10,000th YouTube viewing on May 23, 2010.
The Cohen Fandemic
Endemic for decades in areas such as Canada, Norway, Poland, and France, Leonard Cohen Fan Syndrome has become a world-wide epidemic in the past 2 years, spread by the Leonard Cohen World Tour and abetted by proselyting carriers despite efforts by authorities to quarantine these individuals at LeonardCohenForum.
Diagnostic Criteria
Based on the observations of DrHGuy, standardized criteria for the pertinent Axis II diagnosis are now available at
Cohenphilic Personality Disorder
Danger Signs
In addition to the formal medical description of this diagnosis, Heck Of A Guy has also compiled a list of the aberrant behaviors which indicate one is at high risk for being a full-fledged fan of Leonard Cohen. These signs and symptoms can be found at

... I never had a chance. I was - and this is the only word that fits - smitten. She was overwhelmingly intelligent and quick-witted, although it took three more years for me to recognize that she was, in fact, much smarter than me, and then another two years to forgive her for that. And, she was surpassingly good-looking, with an unmistakable aura of sexiness.
The unlikely story of how Julie and I fell in love and - 2 husbands, 1 wife, and 2 careers later - spent an outrageously wonderful 20 years together is unlike anything else you will find in this blog, and perhaps anywhere else.
The story starts, appropriately, at This Is How A Love Story Began

"Do I Have To Dance All Night" was performed many times in concerts but was never released in the US.
As part of my crusade to popularize this song, I've cobbled together 2 videos - one for the semi-funky 1976 version with Laura Branigan and one for the 1980 more gypsy, less disco version - that kinda sorta fit the music.
Both videos include links to keys to the sources of the clips and the identities of the backup singers and others who are featured.
The complete story of "Do I Have To Dance All Night" is available at The Best Leonard Cohen Song You've Never Heard (Probably)
Unreleased music from Anjani's performances in Warsaw, Poland and Joe's Pub, New York.
The Anjani Birthday Montage includes selections of favorites, especially songs from the Blue Alert album.
The review of Anjani's Blue Alert album is found at Blue Alert - A Recommendation That Will Make You Want To Kiss Me
Other important Anjani links:
Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen had a fling in the 1960s that, for unspecified reasons, was short-lived, with Cohen instigating the parting.
It was then and is now a complex connection. In 1988, Cohen said, I'm still very friendly with Joni - I had dinner with her before the tour, and I have the same admiration for her as you do. But I think it was Noel Harrison who came up to me in the LA Troubadour and said "How do you like living with Beethoven?"
