You know, There's a concert hall in Vienna... to hear this in Wien is my only still unfulfilled cohenian (cohenite? cohenesque? oh well, never mind...) my only unfulfilled LC dream... I've never had a back injury at all, but I am a big fan of PT. According to the X Rays I have no cartilage in the right hip joint left, little in the left hip and also very little in either knee. I've been told I need surgery. And there have been times I have been in such pain that I could only go up and down stairs by clinging to the bannister and dragging myself along.lizzytysh wrote:Exactly, Bonnie. Thank G~d Leonard only needs to endure [and I do mean endure] the p.t. regimen. I hope he knows that the p.t.'s really DO like him... it all too often seems like they don't, after you've clearly told them you CAN'T do it... and they continue to make you do it, anyway.
I'd go ahead and book them if you want to go. In the case of postponement of concerts, I have only ever seen it be the case that the tickets with the old date are automatically valid for the rescheduled date, with the ticket company offering a refund to anyone not able to make the new date. Think about how much effort (and expense!) it would be for the ticket companies to issue refunds to everyone who has bought a ticket for the old dates, and sell tickets for the new dates from scratch.cohenadmirer wrote:i am keen to get tickets for the rescheduled marseile concert. it is special to experience a concert on leonard's birthday. i've just looked on the ticket sites and you can still get reasonable seats not too far from the stage . the complication though is that this is still listed as the now canceled 7th march concert 1 i was tempted to buy on the hope the tickets would automatically be transferred to september 21st , but didnt have the faith and/or courage to proceed ! what would other membes advise / do ??
i am still tempted to book on that basis , but maybe will hold off for a short while . It would be good if the ticket sellers revised their dates and clarified arrangements for transfer or refunds as soon as possible ! That is the last necesary act in putting a final end to the mixed but often negative emotions that have been around for more than a weekdanslenoir wrote:I'd go ahead and book them if you want to go.

Sure has!jarkko wrote:A lot has happened last night while I was sleeping! Special thanks to Marie who was on the alert and posted the press release right away!
Rescheduling the whole tour has been an immense task for Robert and everybody at the tour management and AEG. They have
given priority to the most important thing, Leonard's recovery. I am sure that the next Fall will bring us a wonderful tour!

According to the "wiki" - Ken Sunshine "gained notoriety for his fight against the "stalkerazzis""mnkyface wrote:"For Leonard Cohen - Ken Sunshine / Tiffany Shipp, Sunshine, Sachs & Associates, shipp@sunshinesachs.com / 001 212-691-2800"
I see that Ken Sunshine is *quite* the big-wig: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Sunshine
Isn't this a new PR person/company for Leonard? I've never seen the name mentioned before.
Good point sharon.esharon.e wrote: We must remember that there's also a large group of people at UHTC, band & crew included, who need to deal with the implications of this rescheduling on them. It isn't just about venues re bookings and ticket refund arrangements.

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6150EN20100206Cohen, who is known to take years to craft a new song, has just finished writing a tune called "Different Sides," his musical collaborator, Sharon Robinson, told Reuters at the Grammy event. It was not known when the song would be released. Cohen released his last studio album in 2004.
A bit of an exaggeration - but you get my drift? And it's still coming down - at a rate of 2 inches per hour! - before they "take the stages" in September. They probably decided they needed a heavyweight PR advisor when they saw **that** thread ......mnkyface wrote:"For Leonard Cohen - Ken Sunshine / Tiffany Shipp, Sunshine, Sachs & Associates, shipp@sunshinesachs.com / 001 212-691-2800"
