There’s a feature matchbook featured! (for a moment-if one is paying attention, and squinting real hard, and if you hold your mouth just right…) I am watching a documentary on the life of the song Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. And in it he and another guy hole up in a hotel to write music and at 15:32 he is shown with a feature matchbook from the hotel in his hand. They give the name of the hotel as well in the show—Hotel Marmont. It is not legible in the photo. But if one saw the real feature matchbook, I’m sure it could be identified. Anyone already have it and know?
