[@TomUlcak]

@@chadquigley227 you're saying that 'greed, deceit, lust, all the natural sins of man'. THIS is NOT human nature. These are unnatural states that humans find themselves living in capitalism. Human nature is cooperative. NOT competitive. You start with a false assumption that capitalism has taught you. An unnatural system and alien to the nature of humans.

[@TomUlcak]

@@chadquigley227 No, if details change the story cannot possibly stay the same. That is nonsensical. Why is there the science of History? Because, the details change. Things change. They do not remain the same. Otherwise, why study history? It would be meaningless. Also, things are not the same everywhere. Where you live, what culture you live in, when you were born: these ensure that things are NOT the same everywhere. Two big misconceptions: 1. Things don't change, 2. things are the same everywhere.

[@andipajeroking]

Relevant? It's a fucking masterpiece. Cohen should have won Nobel prize for literature a long time ago.

[@robin_violin]

relevant /ˈrɛləv(ə)nt/ appropriate to the current time, period, or circumstances; of contemporary interest. Thus, the song is relevant in regards to the current times, especially to occasions and events that occurred in recent years. This commentary was by no means meant to depreciate significance and value of the song nor it was intended to point out that this is a "non-masterpice". Also, I would have to disagree with the opinion concerning involvement of Bach in the argument. I can't really say that I can relate one or another event to Bach, whereas it is applicable to Everybody knows. Hence, it is unreasonable to disturb the name of the great composer trying to make your point of no point. Therefore, next time you'll try to play it cool and smart, think twice. Please.
