On The National tonight they had a documentary on Suzanne- the woman that inspired the Leonard Cohen song of the same name. It was very interesting. I was caught off guard, actually. Anyway, for those of you that haven't heard it, it's beautiful. Worth listening to.

Suzanne is homeless. She lives in her truck/camper. She has stayed true to her '60s beliefs, and is still very very sexy- she must be in her 60s.

I think it's odd how someone immortalized as such, leads the life that she does. Not wrong. Just odd. It makes you contemplate how history paints the pictures and we interpret them. It's too much to think that we are right. I mean, who really knows how things turn out?
