(2) ... He performed it live one night and got noticed by John Cale (Velvet Underground). Cale took the lyrics from Cohen & changes them and releases it on an album. A woman from Brooklyn is one of the few people that bought Cale’s album...

(4)... Pop culture then fell in love with the song. 15 years after Leonard Cohen wrote it.
