Suzanne Tao & myDi!



Aanvulling op "Suzanne"
(geschreven in 1966 door Leonard Cohen:
Suzanne had a room on a waterfront street
in the port of Montreal;

Everything happened just as it was put down.
She was the wife of a man I Knew:
her hospitality was immaculate .......)

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by & you can spend the night beside her.
And you know that she's half crazy, but that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea & oranges, that come all the way from China.

And just when you mean to tell her, that you have no love to give her:
Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover and you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind and you know that she will trust you

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind ...

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
He said:"All men will be sailors then untill the sea shall free them"!

But he himself was broken long before the sky would open
Foresaken, almost human,
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.

And you want to travel with him and you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him for he's touched your perfect body
With his mind ...

Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters.
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbour;
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers.

There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning,
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever.
While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body
With her mind



Ik was toendertijd zo onder de indruk van dit lied
dat ik het meteen kocht
en aan Nurit gaf in the year of the Six Day War '67
in Tel Aviv ... Yafo ...

In '68 kwam ik Suzanne tegen op de boot van Haifa naar Istanbul
(she was seasick because of the heavy seas in springtime
while writing in her diary on the bow of the ship,
ran inside to vomit,
I came after her with her
diary & we stayed together for many months thru Turkey, Iran,
Pakistan,
India, Madras, Kerala, Calcutta, Varanasi, Kashmir,
Lahore, Islamabad,
Kabul, Afghanistan, Kandahar,
Herat where we were stuck because of an
outbreak of cholera,
had to stay in a quarantinecamp {dirty needles!} so
both of us turned yellow van de gele koorts,
hepatitis: she had to go back to Fresno California USA)
such memories:
*tranende oogjes* spijt/geluk,
gezichten van al die mensen, zij hield getrouw elke dag haar dagboek bij,
New & Old Delhi,
snow & rain in Kashmir aan de voet van de Himalaya's,
I was only 23 & she was 25, tall blond clever
sweet patient lovely
and so on!

Ah, 'Those were the days my friend:
we thought they'd never end ....'
Sergeant Pepper:
'Picture yourself on a boat on the river of life ...'
'She's leaving home ...'

Lonely Hearts Club Band:
Love me do ('62) .......
Please, please me .............
beatniks bohemians clochards On The Road
From me to you ....
in de provojaren van A'dam Groot Mokum Big Apple
Rubber Soul & Revolver & It's a Hard Day's Night:
HELP & Yellow Submarine

Omdat we zo ook 'leefden' toendertijd werd alles
nog veel indrukwekkender

Stropdassen werden weggegooid (Prins Claus! > Pim Fortuyn) ...

Jeans & T-shirts: "Flowerpower" & Timothy Leary
arrested & running away ...
Martin Luther King & Kennedy vermoord &
Vietnam & MAo's rode boekjen!
{REVOLUTION & MENSENRECHTEN}
De hele reutemeteut wordt weer springlevend
opgewekt in alle geuren en kleuren van
't kaboutergeheugen met
alternatieve green powers,
elfen en spirits, magic hemp
hash lsd dmt xtc gnot
& dangers ...[]..........
In die jaren kon je nog driemeterhogehennepstruiken in
je voortuintje laten groeien zonder dat iemand er
enige aandacht aan besteedde!
[]De eerste paddestoelen,
cactussen, lianen en noem maar op ...[]
Nog niet illegaal maar wel
onbekend en interessant ...
{NONVIOLENTREVOLUTIONSWORLDWIDEFROMNOWON?!}
Nog geen griezelige criminelen die zich massaal
gingen specialiseren
in smokkel, opkoop, verkoop, ripdeals,
doodschieterij & ellende ...

Omdat alles illegaal werd verklaard en er dus
veel teveel winst werd gemaakt!

En de heleboel dus ook vermengd raakte
met heavy drugs ...
bah!gaap!gemeenliefdesverdrietverdrietig
Soft drugs verboden:
harddrugs geintroduceerd!bah!liefdesverdrietverwardverdrietignahnah

TOEN was 'bijna alles' nog nieuw, leuk,
gezellig, ontspannen ..............
Maar NU is er geen bal
meer aan?!

Opa begintnuweerallesdoorelkaartehalen?!
Tijd om te stoppen!
