    John Cale. John Cale’s version. Anybody else out there love that man’s voice? I want him to sit beside me late at night and sing. Anything.

    I couldn’t get enough of John Cale’s version or John Cale’s voice if you replaced my blood with it.

    Deron. What you just said. My jaw just dropped and hung there on my breastbone. “I couldn’t get enough . . . if you replaced my blood with it.”

    I felt that way too when I wrote it.

    I count Cale’s version of Hallelujah and Cohen’s own version of Famous Blue Raincoat among my reasons to live.

    Interesting that John Cale has come up so often on clusterflock, among us old-timers as well as those who know The Velvet Underground as a topic of history. Cale seems to be a unifying thread for many of us.

    One of my first posts on Clusterflock was on Famous Blue Raincoat. It’s such a beautiful song.
