Next year Leonard Cohen will release a new album. The influential Cohen, who is 77, last released an album in 2004. So eight years later he is going to be back in the mix with a little something called Old Ideas, an album which will contain ten new tracks.
Old ideas are what stagnates the world! New ideas, innovation, that is what you need. Otherwise the world will come to a standstill! This is what Roger Dubroski always said when his mother would serve him the same stew over and over again. All right, one day she said, you cook! So he did, and enthusiastically he started to mix spices and herbs and tastes and so on. However, after a few days he already got into trouble because there are only so many ways you can cook fish and chips. When another attempt failed – fish covered with basil and an orange sauce – he was enraged, ran up main street, into a bookshop, and bought a cookbook. Not easy then, his mother said, only using new ideas, eh? Well, they are new to me, he muttered, as he slowly stirred his Asian broth according to Mr. Chow’s Thai and Japanese Delight for Stay at Home Mums Cook Book.
