All this news about Nashville leaves me thinking of the awesome concert there. That was one of the peak experiences in my life. I bought tickets off ticket master long after the presale, when they split up and allowed single VIP tickets. Against all common sense, I bought a ticket and headed for Nas...

With all due respect, William Shatner? Ahead of Leonard Cohen? People, what is the world coming to? We will have to hang our heads in shame if this situation is not rectified.

AWESOME!!! We all knew it was perfect, but Costello is a trained professional! I can't think of a person I would rather see interview Leonard. Well, except for me. and you. or another true fan/forum member.

I thought he was singing about someone's head on their pillow like a "sleepy golden stone." Couldn't figure out what was so good about that. Although storm takes some thought, too.

Maartan, your photos are phenomenal! Well done.

Thanks Lizzy. :) I just got the Live Songs album after San Jose - I'm slowly making my way through everything. Only a couple of the live ones left. . . . Each one is like Christmas, as I play it over and over, unwrapping the layers of meaning in the songs. Don't think I'll be able to hold out until ...

I am thrilled at Leonard's message. Sheer bliss. O God of Leonard Cohen, shield of my loneliness, clasp of my happiness, please send your servant back to North America in 2010!

As one who has made several deposits to that account, I can only say Go Leonard! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
That Billboard report makes it look like all the venues, at least lately, have been sold out. I wonder if that's true?

Cuddled up at last with my Official Leonard Cohen World Tour 2009 blanket! Love it, and the new key chain. Mmm, shiney.

I know how you're hanging, I think I can see where you're pinned.

You nailed it! But you gave me an asthma attack I laughed so hard.

Gary, we picked up a copy of your article in San Jose, and enjoyed it. It had much more depth than many I've seen, and may have helped me convince the friend I drug along to the concert that I wasn't totally insane. She was much more respectful of my obsession after reading it. :) Well maybe slightl...

San Jose was awesome. Cohen fans are the best, with or without professional diagnosis. Mary B, thanks for including us in the great shirt caper, Arlene and Albert thanks for the clips, Di, thanks for yelling what we were all thinking! And thanks so much for the light sticks, that was wonderful.
