Leanard Cohen, the songwriter is very "youthfull"
at 71 years of age and continues to write masterpieces - some songwriters are latebloomers - and don't hit their creative Youth mode
untill their fifties this is a good clip

and ELLINGTON, who do you like besides Billy Joel ?
How do you like Paul Simon ? Joni Mitchel ?
Bob Dylan, and Guns and Roses ? -

Why does the act of falling in love – or at least thinking about love – lead to such a spur of creative productivity?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=does-falling-in-love-make">One possibility is that when we’re in love we actually think differently.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=does-falling-in-love-make">The researchers found that love really does alter our thoughts, and that this profound emotion affects us in a way that is different than simply thinking about sex.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=does-falling-in-love-make">love makes us think differently in that it triggers global processing, which in turn promotes creative thinking and interferes with analytic thinking.
