SKF NOTE: A memorable, funny line from one of my favorite songwriters, Leonard Cohen.

At 9:41 in this interview, Mr. Cohen answers his interviewer’s question with:

“In hindsight it seems to be the height of folly to resolve your economic crisis by becoming a folksinger.”

Of course, almost any musical career can be substituted for “folksinger.” The flip side here is that Cohen’s leap of faith turned out incredibly well, artistically and economically.
