Help me settle a debate - is this a Mandela effect? So many people believe Leonard Cohen either wrote the song (he didn’t, it was Alabama 3) or that he covered a version of the song. Many online sites report that he sang the song for the version used as the theme song of The Sopranos, Google Gemini says he did, but ChatGPT says he didn’t. There are Youtube videos titled Leonard Cohen - Woke Up This Morning with a picture of him and there are ongoing debates in the comments about whether he ever sang it or not. What is going on here?? Why can’t we get accurate information about this?

    I mean, the Sopranos is all about people who hurt others for their own materialistic desires slowly losing everything, including their own lives. When it aired it just sort of had this problem among the American public:

    A doodle of a Gundam and a person. The person is saying “Wow!! Cool robot!!” while a message fired by the Gundam that says “war is bad” sails over their head.

      Reminds me of how people saw Okja as a simple adventure movie and tried really hard to ignore the message it was conveying about animal rights (the creators even went vegan for the movie but we’re not ready for that convo…)
