Once inside the hat shop, Wilson was spoiled for choice with a vast array of Fedora-type hats. He told the very helpful assistant that he wanted to look like a 1920s Gangster… and like Leonard Cohen. He summed it up as, 'I want to look cuddly, but dangerous!'
Not sure that just a hat will do that…
The assistant said she thought she might have just the thing, and in the picture you can see him trying it on. He stood in front of the mirror and muttered, 'If it was raining brains, Roxy Robinson wouldn't even get wet!' and, 'Hey, gimme that Splurge Gun!' out of the corner of his mouth. Then he sang a stanza from 'Famous Blue Raincoat' and announced, 'I'll take it, Doll! And don't even think about wrappin' it!''
I've never seen Leonard Cohen carrying a Thompson sub-machine gun.
