Leonard Cohen Music

Last night, John and I were watching Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man on DVR. Maureen was kind enough to record it and I was speeding through the stories and moving onto the performances. When Nick Cave started singing Suzanne, John started moving his arms and legs as if he were dancing. I told him, "John, you really don't dance to Leonard Cohen music. You just sit, think about life, and drink a manly drink. Additionally, you really can't dance to many Nick Cave songs. You just sit, think about life, and drink a manly drink." It didn't help that Nick Cave was snapping his fingers and grooving to the music. As much as I admire him, he just looks odd trying to groove to a song as such. It has soul, but it's not a soul song.
