Maybe this has been posted before but I thought it was interesting to see Leonard "not on". He's beautifully honest about it. Wish I knew what happend next...

Still nice of you to share... there is no penalty for unintended repetition on the forum

Thanks, so interesting reading the past thread. I guess I'm on to Nadels book next, after I finish Favourite Game.
What I would give to have seen Leonard Cohen performing Marianne on acid

watching that backstage segment was a little unsettling. def. gives one a good idea of the double-edged sword known as stardom. on one hand, Mr. Cohen gets to do what he loves on stage, but at the same time, he's tied down by obligations to be up there and perform. at least he didn't refuse to play due to someone calling him a name like many of the diva pop stars of today

his reasoning seems to have been pure.
