Hollywood was nice, but Coachella would not wait. So after a nice breakfast with our little crew (now numbering 14 people), and after a side trip back to LAX to pick up my luggage, it was off to the desert to experience the joy of Coachella.The challenge of being with a group that large is trying to catch a show with as many people as possible. That wouldn't be a problem except for a certain pa...

Leonard Cohen Extends Tour Through Europe
-
Artist:
This year marked the first time Leonard Cohen hit the road in almost fifteen years. Despite being well into his seventies, Cohen seems to be loving the feeling of the wind rushing through his hair as he's extended his summer jaunt way into the 2008 fall and winter. Cohen and his baritone will hit only Europe, but who says you can't plan yourself a nice getaway centered around Mr. Cohen's music....

"And you know that she's half crazy,but that's why you want to be there."Suzanne ~ Leonard CohenNearly everything I've ever written, be it a short story, or a novel in progress (one day I'll finish one of them, I am determined), has had a character inspired by one of Leonard Cohen's songs.

Leonard Cohen-Live In London

Artist:
While Laughing Len plays the elder statesmen of the broken hearted to a tee, cheesy arrangements and OTT sax solos make Live In London a nice memory, but an inessential addition to his live back catalog for those not there in the flesh.

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.

A whole hell of a lot of people, i hope.Just got back from the 4 o'clock show of Watchmen. Given that it's a live-action translation of a 400-page graphic novel with numerous sub-plots and convoluted timeline, it's incredibly good.Yes, there are changes, especially at the end, which change some characters' actions from disinterest to complicity, and change the resolution of one of the survivin...
