The other night I attended a Leonard Cohen concert in Edmonton. In the row in front of me there was a man who, instead of applauding after each song, instead of yelping unintelligible wolfish syllables, yelled out: "Thank you!"
And I thought to myself: maybe that's just about right. When someone offers you a gift, you don't clap. You don't howl. You say thanks.
