I am happy to announce the release today of Thanks, Leonard Cohen, For Coming To The USA, a video offered in appreciation of Leonard Cohen's Fall 2009 US Tour and in celebration of the 2008-2009 Leonard Cohen World Tour, a labor born of catastrophe and betrayal that became a triumph of music and spirit.
The video is online at http://1heckofaguy.com/2010/01/07/thank ... lebration/

Wow. I had to blink a lot. Thank you for sharing it with us.

There you go again Allan - feeding my addiction
I know now I will never be cured

As usual, Allan, you've done a wonderful job! I am so privileged to have been a part of this. Thank you for preserving the memories for us!

Cheers,
Lisa

DrH, you had me sobbing, laughing, singing, swaying. . . that video is the most beautiful gesture of love and gratitude I've ever seen; thank you so much for giving such vivid expression to what is in all of our hearts - you do it better than anyone could! Thank you, thank you, thank you . . .

By the way, I love the new tee-shirts, esp. the "what would Leonard do" & "I unified heart Leonard" - when & where can they be purchased - maybe same place/time as the medical alert bracelet & accessories? But really, I love those tee-shirts, hope they will become manifest in earthly reality!

ooh oh it was beautiful, beautifully, so I had to look three times, especially the part from 8:10, where blouses threw the podium. Ladies, admit the person who threw it there.
It still shows that Leonard is a great 1st. Beautiful bracelet, shirt and other things.

Thank you very much for video.

Dear Dr. H.

Every second of that video is FABULOUS!

Please sign me up for the Intergalactic Tour.

Thanks, Allan. Yet another exquisite masterpiece!

I love all the wonderful fast paced images - soooooooo many great memories.

And just in time too. I go back to watch it again and again to help take the edge off this anxious waiting for more 2010 concert announcements ...tic...toc...tic..toc

Dear Allan,

Each time you seem to surpass what you've done before! Thank you SOOO much. It brought back a million warm and wonderful memories, and I can't wait for the start of this next leg!

And YES! I want those t-shirts!!! Especially loved the "I (unified heart) Leonard"....awesome. The Dino one was pretty cool too

I'm going back now to watch it again!!

I'm going now to watch your video, Allan, but the above is so succinctly and poignantly true.
It couldn't be said any better.

Allan,

My husband insisted on working at the office today, instead of from home, so I helped scrape the drive way, trudged out into the snow, drove my Subaru through the slush and the ice to his work, then home to see dogs who want to be walked in this slick/slushy mess. So I sit down at the computer with a cold nose and damp, cold feet and fingers which will barely type -- to see your video.

Now my grin is from ear to ear and the day is suddenly looking much more promising. I think I'll go mull some apple cider AND some wine, and start concocting some delicious dinner for tonite.

Maybe I'll make a snowman.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Dear Allan ~

I'm tearful and breathless. I have to believe that when Leonard views it, he will find his eyes go moist. The layers of love you've created are uncountable... and they go all directions. This is the most beautiful I've seen. It fits as an official video for something. I, too, want one each of your t-shirts. SOooo funny on Dino's LOL. SOoooo beautiful and true on Leonard's. You underscore, italicize, and bold the privilege I feel to have lived during the same time and experienced Leonard's genius and kindness. Love to you, Allan, for this magnificent effort.

Love,
Lizzy

I was having a very boring and frustrating day at work and thought i would just have a few moments respite in the forum and found your video. You have made my day much better. thank you so much

Allan-

Didn't realize there was sound on it until the end so I was compelled to view it again . What an exquisite labor of love - thank you.

Warmest regards,
Mary
