I don't often buy souvenirs at concerts, but after Leonard Cohen's concert in Montreal the other night, I joined the crush of people around the merch stand and paid for a tote bag. It's black, has an interlocking-locking hearts logo, and on one side a fragment of the lyric from "Anthem," one of the show's highlights: Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in I'd never seen Leonard Cohen ... MORE

I've never listened to Leonard Cohen until now. Checked out some odds n; ends from the local library, and one of the disc I picked up was the soundtrack to the film "I'm Your Man". Damn if these heartwrenchinly fine covers don't fit the mood to a tee. The disc kicks off and ends with "Tower of Song", the opener arranged by the fistula introduced Martha Wainwright. Thank you, Leonard, for giving voice to these thoughts. Well my friends are gone and my hair is greyI ache i... MORE

This is an amazing song, and this recording by Leonard Cohen, which is included on the excellent "The Essential Cohen" two-cd set, is incredible. So sad, so beautiful. I've listened to this song at least 100 times.

One of the best true artists out there. What else could be said about this man that hasn't already been said. Well, if Lou Reed puts you in the "highest and most influential echelon of songwriters," you probaby are. This is just one of his songs from The Future album.

Golden With Cohen!

So last Fall I wrote a letter to Mr Cohen. I don't do such things. I carried it around for a few months, then recently discarded it. So he announces a world tour, the first in 15 years, and where does it begin? In the Maritimes! More specifically, it starts in a small venue in MY hometown, the day after my birthday, which also happens to be Mothers Day. I got my ticket yesterday, I'm in "the Golden Circle" 5 rows back. So thank you Brother Cohen, my Rabbi and High P... MORE

There has been much debate about the state of Rock and Roll since last September when the list of 2008 Hall of Fame inductees was announced. The list included several artists which music critics harshly deemed unworthy of the once prestigious lifetime achievement award. The nominees included Beastie Boys, Madonna, Afrika Bambaataa, John Mellencamp, Donna Summer, Leonard Cohen, The Dave Clark Five, Chic, and The Ventures, some of which are obvious choices (Cohen) while ot...

One of the my favorite songwriters is being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tonight. As a tribute to Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice will be performing Hallelujah for the occasion (I learned that the show was airing tonight from a Damien Rice email update). "If I were to float off in a balloon and were only allowed to bring the music of one artist, I would chose Leonard Cohen. Very few things in life are this clear to me." (Rice took the words outta my mouth.)
