Cohen published a book of poetry long before he ever recorded an album (it's out of print now, and kind of a collectors' item). Just sayin'.
This is an accurate fact but my point about "mental typing" still stands - in fact, I think your point only serves to corroborate mine. If you took a street poll about "Who Leonard Cohen was?" I think you would get 9/10 people saying he was a musician or a songwriter over a poet, even despite this fact that he made an attempt in poetry before becoming famous for song.

HA. I think you are probably right on all counts.
