Shouldn't this topic be in other music? Quite what relevance Bob Geldof has to the music of Leonard Cohen is lost on me. Masterful commentator of the inner landscape - media executive!

I Tried To Leave You

I think you'll find it's the British Isles, as us Celts would like to be included in any future tour.

So you're such a "hard-core fan" that you'll never be listening to anything by Mr. Cohen ever again. Listen, I'm sorry you've lost money on this but what about the open hearted many and broken hearted few who are on their knees and haven't been able to raise the funds to attend a concert i...

Was the Fortune Teller Miracle Fish inserted in all copies of Songs from the Road?

A very apt name though as it appears in one of the greatest poems of Fedorico Garcia Lorca, which Leonard used to often quote from in concert, Gacela de la muerte oscura. "Quiero dormir el sueno de las manzana,"......... The english translation I like best is by Merryn Williams but she cha...

......Friends...............It's Armistice Sunday tomorrow............
.......................I wish they could all come home.

"Friends.......It's armistice Sunday tomorrow.........................................

I think Laura's sussed it...it sounds like "Boogie Street". Perhaps Leonard will write another "Tango" song when he finds a word to rhyme with orange?! I belive that Leonard has found such a rhyme, as he noted in a TV interview back in the '90s: "door-hinge." (okay, it...

Fredericton, NB. Circle completed!

Just watched it again on iplayer and after greeting Leonard he calls out "Bye Axel." Would this then be his son with Marriane?

Anyone know who the guy is who greets Leonard at Hydra as he gets off the Flying Dolphin? Leonard says something to the effect of "strange to meet this man here."
