chelsea hotel 

1. new yorkda ünlülerin ikamet ettiği meşhur otel ile aynı adı taşıyan leonard cohen klasiği.
   
   sözleri:
   
   i remember you well in the chelsea hotel,
   you were talking so brave and so sweet,
   giving me head on the unmade bed,
   while the limousines wait in the street.
   those were the reasons and that was new york,
   we were running for the money and the flesh.
   and that was called love for the workers in song
   probably still is for those of them left.
   
   ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
   you just turned your back on the crowd,
   you got away, i never once heard you say,
   i need you, i don't need you,
   i need you, i don't need you
   and all of that jiving around.
   
   i remember you well in the chelsea hotel
   you were famous, your heart was a legend.
   you told me again you preferred handsome men
   but for me you would make an exception.
   and clenching your fist for the ones like us
   who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
   you fixed yourself, you said, "well never mind,
   we are ugly but we have the music."
   
   and then you got away, didn't you babe...
   
   i don't mean to suggest that i loved you the best,
   i can't keep track of each fallen robin.
   i remember you well in the chelsea hotel,
   that's all, i don't even think of you that often.

2. sex pistols'ın her şeyi sid vicious, burada hayatının aşkını öldürür..
   leonard cohen ve janis joplin buradaki bir odada bir süre aynı odada kalır,
   ernest hemingway'in bu otelde daimi bir odası vardır,
   andy warhol ile jim morrison bu oteldeki bir masada oturup karşılıklı içkilerini yudumlarlar,
   bob dylan, biricik aşkı ve eşi, sara lowlnds için günlerce burada konaklayarak, sad eyed lady of the lowlands'i yazar, ardından otel lobisinde alkol komasina girer.
   new york'tadır ve oraya her gidildiğinde görülmesi gereken bir sanat müzesi niteliğindedir.
