Leonard Cohen


a quick note on the Leonard Cohen concert we attended last Thursday. It was FAB! I never thought I would see him live, given that he is 75 and his last tour was when he was 60 (in his words, he was "just a crazy kid with a dream" back then :)

But luckily for me his manager stole all his money and he had to come back to work. For the better part of 3 hours he went through all his old classics (Suzanne, Partisan, The Future, Hallelujah etc). If anything his voice has become even deeper and more powerful. He also read out some songs as poetry.

Not sure if anyone else is a fan of his music, but I really enjoyed it.
