        English speaking Montrealers love Leonard Cohen. The truth is French Canada has always resented the Jewish English culturati and long since chased most of them away by suffocatingly chauvinistic language and culture bigotry in Quebec.

        What a guy. One of my favorite LC stories: at about 14 y/o, he became interested in hypnotism and attempted to hypnotise the clothes off his nanny.

        Secular? The man spent years as a monk? That hardly the action of a secular mind. (And I *like* "Laughing Leonard")
