Re: cohen vs. dylan

I have met many people who are surprised to learn that Cohen is not a 'new' or recent artist; and that he has been writing and singing for decades; and is not "their" age. They say he is talks directly to them; or about them; or about something they find very new and important. They seldom...

Re: The first note - how you found LC and how it affected you

...the first meeting, first song, was of course, Suzzane, on the radio, and a used LP in the 60's. It touched me deeply but in a very un-defined manner (typical adolecent response, all passion, no brains); later, about every 5 to 10 years, I would collect his most recent LP, tape, CD and re-meet the...

Re: very sad

I have waited since the 1970s for an opportunity to attend an LC concert; and was previously too poor or too engaged in raising a child, etc etc to do so, and had made-do with albums, then tapes, now CDs. I was overjoyed to learn that he was once again on tour, and that the stars and planets had ali...

Re: Leonard Cohen: TOUR 2008

For $1000 I will arrange dinner for him with my ex-wife; who is also over 50; and has no interest in Leonard Cohen.

Re: Leonard Cohen: TOUR 2008

The $1000 offer for dinner with Leonard Cohen sounds a bit low; perhaps he didnt value the artist , or thought little of his wife; how about a charity auction on Ebay ("Dinner for Two with....") ***he offered me those thousand bucks for being the middleman... it never became clear how much...

Re: Leonard Cohen: TOUR 2008

I have an ongoing wish that LC would perform in New Orleans; not sure if he has ever been here; if he came, he might not want to leave. New Orleans has been characterized as "A city of fallen angels seeking the limits of grace.." ; which captures the libertine spirit of the city; and descr...

Re: What venue is everyone hoping for in London?...

...and what song should he lead with? Something classic? Something "new"? I think your answer this question may be based on age; years listening; I want to hear/see him sing Joan of Arc; and I want a seat somewhere in the first 10 rows; probably too much to expect; anyone know the month he...

Re: Leonard Cohen: TOUR 2008

I have been compulsively checking the forum since first learning of the new tour; and like others, I fear missing a rare opportunity; does anyone know of new sources of information on this? General dates? and of course any info on specific cities would be fantastic. Ive been a fan for years and am s...

Re: Leonard Cohen: TOUR 2008

I think everyone wants him to tour their city; it would be wonderful if he came to the annual New Orleans jazzfest; and a dozen other large and small New Orleans venues; hope the tour schedule comes out soon.
