Any idea why they would need your phone number in order for you to vote? I would think an e-mail address would be sufficiant to badger you with products and services.

I am not familiar about this pre-show appearance at a hospital? Can you fill me in or direct me to a thread that may have covered it?

Anyone see a recording of the Winnipeg show floating around anywhere?

I see there is one for the Mini-Apple but haven't found Winnipeg (which I did attend),

Perhaps I am too jaundiced, but to me this smells like a case of two idle academics, desperate to publish something to justify their salaries, twisting facts to fit a sexy theory rustled up between cocktails. "...The seemingly innocuous link between individual love and world-scale apocalyse&qu...

I'm thinking if there is anyone Bob needs to see it is Leonard. I love Bob's Theme Time Radio Hour and I absolutely loved Tell Tell Signs but some things have been kind of uneven from Dylan of late. I know they are very different men but the concerts I have seen of Dylan (last one in November) and L...

I noticed Drek has added the "Hey Leonard Cohen Come to the Cyrk": piece to his play list at : http://www.myspace.com/drekdaa I believe this is the same recording that was sent to Leonard (I haven't listened to it on his site yet). Regarding his CD (which is brilliant IMHO) there is a plac...

Hello Sebastian, I thought I should respond to your question as I am the one who started the “Invocation/Invitation” thread earlier. First I would like to say that I, in no way presume to know the limits or confines of Mr. Cohen’s or his management’s generosity and good grace. You may very well rece...

Thanks for your brilliant review. Your observations and writing really resonated with my experience. I would love to hear more of your comparisons. I am still besides myself. I feel like something was deposited in me, that I was danced to the ends of a wonderful rich and generous love.I work as a th...

Just got in from the Winnipeg concert. Absolutely brilliant. I am ruined for life – I dare anyone to try to top that show. As an aspiring performing songwriter – this was paradise!! We got basically the same sets as Calgary except no Sister of Mercy (sadly as it is a personal fave) and the four enco...

By the way Derak (Drek) did get a response from both Leonard (through a third party) and from Leonard's management.

Generous and gracious people indeed. It is not a pose.

Hi,

I am getting ready for Leonard's appearance in Winnipeg on Thursday and am wondering if Leonard has a large video screen on stage or not. I will be bringing binoculasr as I am not real close. Just wondering/

Whether you care for Mr Gomeshi or not, the real focus here was definately Leonard Cohen and I thought his gracious and generous spirit shone. In our youth obsessed culture, it is truly wonderful to see an elder artist not only aging with grace but also being sought out for his insights and wisdom. ...

oops ... that should have read "from" this talented poet/songwriter ( meaning Drek).

Leonard ... well that goes without saying.

Fellow Canadians and spoken word fans may be familiar with Drek Daa. I am trying to get a recording to Leonard this talented poet/songwriter. Leonard is in Winnipeg April 30th and Drek has recorded a wonderful invitation to Leonard on behalf of the poets of Winnipeg. Any ideas how to get the mp3 to ...
