Krist Novoselic is a regular contributor to Reverb. His column on music and politics runs every Tuesday on the Daily Weekly.Leonard Cohen – “Passing Through,” Live Songs: Cohen strolls through time and encounters historical figures. He’s got a question for Jesus, Adam, George Washington, and Franklin Roosevelt.Monsters of Folk, “Baby Boomer”: This band is Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes, and M. Ward. It’s a folk-like knee slapper like the Cohen song above. This tune is also about history – or more like who wrote history.The Rolling Stones, A rare mix of “Gimmie Shelter” The folks at Wax FM posted this beauty. Somebody got a hold of the master reels and posted this version of the tune online. It’s fun to hear the song broken down but the message is still heavy – war, murder, it’s just a shot away.
