So sad. Leonard and I both attended the same Zen monastery and the same synagogue, both of us Jews from Montreal relocated to LA. I just read that he died of leukemia. I too have leukemia. Does anyone know the type? I work as the founder and volunteer medical director of the nonprofit CLL Society to...

So sad. Leonard's music is always playing in the back of head. Greedily, I want more. Now I must accept that I will never hear him sing Suzanne again in a concert or seeing him sitting zazen or read another interview. I am so grateful for his live.

A triumph show. Drove down from OC. Well worth it. The intensity and the connection with the crowd reminded me of the unforgettable Janis Joplin concert I saw in Montreal. Another worker in song. The fourth time I have seen LC including his last tour, and this was by far the best concert. He sounded...

Friends, My daughter is flying into town that evening so I am unable to make the opening night of Coachella, Friday, April 17 with Leonard Cohen and Paul McCartney, and Morrissey, and Beirut and Franz Ferdinand, and well here is the whole list.

Just listened to the podcast. Wow. His voice is so strong and he can really deliver his songs. Shattering. Can't wait for the San Diego concert.

I bought the the so called cheap seats at $89 each. Third row first balcony R center. That's not bad. $400 for 2 pretty good seats seemed too much, even for the grocer of despair. I live in OC, and figured the Copley will be a much better venue than LA's Nokia which is almost 3 x as big. The drive i...

Got my two tickets. The cheapest seats. 3rd role of the first balcony. Very pricey, Very worthwhile. Thanks so much to Jarkko and all those involves in putting this together Yesterday I got the even better news that my bone marrow was free of leukemia.

Great article. He is so playful in the interview. Love it.
Tomorrow: the tickets

When I was checking the seating plan for Copley, I discovered that while Ticketmaster has several future North American tour dates listed, it does not list the San Diego concert in its upcoming events. Are we sure Ticketmaster is the ticket seller for San Diego? Thanks so much. And thanks for puttin...

I was checking the seating plan and discovered Ticketmaster does not have the LC concert listed in its upcoming sales. Are we sure Ticketmaster is handling the sale in San Diego? Thank you ***Absolutely sure. Ticketmaster is adding shows one by one, everything will be Ok before the presale starts to...

I just saw Judy Collins at the Coachhouse in San Juan Capistrano. Her soaring voice was better than on the albums from 4 decades ago. Her final encore was a song brought to her by a published Canadian poet in NYC. He said he couldn't sing or play and wasn't sure it was a song. She said he could do b...

I'll be there at 12:01. I suspect it will be about a tour extension. I have tickets for Coachella, but would love to see him again at the Wiltern or anywhere within a few hours drive. Heck, I was willing to fly to NYC from LA to see him with my daughter if she could have nabbed some tickets. They we...
