JohnF Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Perhaps not everyone's taste in music but I always liked him. Gonna kick back now and watch the rest of the show. JF
Whitespinnerbait Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Leonard Cohen= I just don't get it :dunno:
jediangler Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Maybe the greatest songwriter and poet Canada has ever produced.
legacey Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 He played here in Kingston a few weeks back....people that saw him said he was fantastic! Cheers
JohnF Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Posted June 8, 2009 He played here in Kingston a few weeks back....people that saw him said he was fantastic! Cheers Listen to his lyrics. He nails so many of the little things that usually escape us. I gues ya gotta be a little bit into the hippy poet schtick from the good old days. JF

JohnF Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Posted June 8, 2009 Love em, an amazing talent!!! A little deep for the "Twisted Sister" crowd maybe lol My son the bass player says that his musician friends are all saying the Cohen Tour going on now is awesome. We have to remember that Cohen fans favoured black before it meant goth. JF
