Happy Birthday, Leonard!

I'll be listening through your catalogue of songs today from start to finish.

los angeles to montreal (via boston)... i'm excited to see leonard in his home city. hopefully he'll schedule an LA date next year so i can see him again - but there's no way i'm risking missing him on this leg of the tour!

what info says he won't be playing in the U.S. this year? i could only find speculation. i think people are just being paranoid and pessimistic - leonard will come through.

how can he forsake his current home (and, conveniently, mine) of los angeles?

i was going to suggest that all the U.S. fans e-mail leonard cohen's management expressing our interest in a U.S. tour. but then i figured that kind of harassment would be futile. how about we all post a request in this thread, and then send it over? i'll even print it out and personally hand delive...

yeah if i were you i'd buy tickets. would be kind of cool to see leonard in canada anyway, it makes it an international adventure! but i get the feeling he'll add U.S. dates. i remain optimistic.

Hi all, I've been lurking around here for a while, but only recently signed up for the board after the tour announcement. I wanted to ask - has anyone here ever been to the Mt. Baldy Zen center?

This is the best news of 2008 so far.

Presumably Leonard will play an LA show seeing as it's his stomping ground these days?
