Leonard Cohen's "Last Year's Man" just came on here at the Lady Killigrew Cafe in Montague. When this song is on I fall into a state of devotion and prayer. Hearing this song is like going to church. This is sacred music. I'm back in Ireland at age 20, where I first heard it, in a rainy, mild June, lovelorn and lonely

Yes, and I'm still there/here. I'm eating lunch. Now Wilco & Billy Bragg are playing and I'm eating udon noodles. I can see the river from here from my perch in the cafe. Tell me how you know the place!

Excellent! I knew you'd lived in Boston but didn't know you'd lived in Northampton. I'm about 40 minutes north of Northampton and about 20 minutes north of the Book Mill: "books you don't need in a place you can't find." It's a caffeinated, waterfalled, wirelessed, wooded haven. And it's full of books!

Nobody quite like Leonard Cohen and nothing quite like a bookstore!
