I mean, that really happened to me. Really heavy like slam-in-the-face it happened. Twice. Jim Morrison and Leonard Cohen. And it's strange 'cause they were the only two that I can think of, like prominent people, that I tried to ... without really liking them up front, just because I knew who they were and wanted to know them ... And they both gave me nothing ... But I don't know what that means. Maybe it just means they were on a bummer.

Leonard Cohen's version:
"Giving me head on the unmade bed"

Leonard Cohen to Anthony DeCurtis on Janis Joplin:
One of them, a brief affair with Janis Joplin that is preserved in "Chelsea Hotel," is a source of embarrassment to him. A memoir of uncommon frankness ("Giving me head on the unmade bed / While the limousines wait in the street") and unsentimentality ("I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel / That's all / I don't think of you that often"), the song now strikes Cohen as "an indiscretion." "I don't know how it got out, but it did," Cohen says of the song's subject. "I said it somewhere. I may have been juiced at a concert and spoken about it in a way that seemed appropriate at the moment - and I have regretted it. There's nothing I can do about it. If I could do it again, I would have kept my mouth shut."
