I wish there was a print of this Shag painting - Leonard Cohen Composes "Chelsea Hotel No. 2" At A Polynesian Bar In Miami - because it combines two things I love that on the face of it don't seem to belong together.

I wrote this this for an American singer who died a while ago. She used to stay at the Chelsea, too. I began it at a bar in a Polynesian restaurant in Miami in 1971 and I finished it in Asmara, Ethiopia just before the throne was overturned... -Leonard Cohen, The Best of Leonard Cohen
