Unfortunately, yes. I wish he didn't. I also noticed that he did one of "Chelsea Hotel" which was of course a disappointment as well. I also hate Concrete Blonde for insulting "Everybody Knows" with a mediocre sounding woman singing.

Rufus seems to do a lot of Cohen covers, doesn't he?

I think it fits a multitude of circumstances but it seems to capture a common human experience. The feeling that there is much more lying beneath the surface of everything. That all is not exactly what it appears to be on the outside. Also that as a society we often turn a blind eye to the reality of our own nature.

Not pessimistic is right. Realistic! There is a difference between a pessamist and a realist.

I don't think it's a bit pessimistic. I think it is 100 percent pessimistic. But hey, that's leonard for ya! =D
