KW-34-2018: Leonard Cohen und … #ROBERT_PLANT. Heute wird #LED ZEPPELIN-Frontmann ROBERT PLANT 70 Jahre alt. Happy Birthday. Auf seinen Lieblingssong von Leonard Cohen angesproichen, nannte er “ #Everybody Knows“. Warum? I admire Cohen, some of his work’s absolutely beautiful. Why “Everybody Knows”? Oh, just listen to the lyrics. It’s just great – it rips into all the superfluous and fancy echoes of society, it’s great.

It’s just great – it rips into all the superfluous and fancy echoes of society, it’s great. I tried to cut it with Alison [Krauss], about five years ago. What happened? I think T Bone [Burnett] dissolved into his laptop. He was teleported into another place. So Alison and I went for a long Japanese meal with a few gallons of saké and gave up.
