Has Leonard achieved Super Hero Status?

Post by jonathon »

I attended the big budget The Watchmen movie on Sunday and was surprised to hear two well-placed Leonard Cohen songs in the soundtrack... Hallelujah during a love-making session between two Watchmen Super Heros in a pseudo-spaceship and First We Take Manahatten during the ending movie credits.

I knew that Leonard had certainly achieved Super Star status but I hadn't realized that he had also reached Super Hero status!!! lol

All the best.

I've heard from a very reliable source, that at forthcoming concerts, Leonard will be lowered onto the stage with invisible wires, and wearing a skin-tight suit and brightly coloured cape (plus, of course, his leather mask).

Cheers, John E
