Title: Leonard Cohen concert
Post by: Jody on January 23, 2013, 03:08:59 pm: I know of Leonard Cohen through my old roommate who had an album or two of his work and also through the song "Hallelujah". I've seen him perform on TV, and actually loved KD Lang's version of Hallelujah on television at the Olympics in China a few years back that was part of the opening ceremony I believe.

I will be seeing him at Radio City Music Hall, a great venue in early April and may have an extra ticket.

Such a great voice and even Johnny loved her. Gloria was a great song, stoned, drugged out, or just dancing with some one who was, it was the moment. She has many other great songs, one of which is my favorite...."Cry Wolf"" which could be the theme song for "Am I Infected".

Hope you are well! Love to Bear! Be well!

I played one of the interview videos and the young man asked Mr. Cohen about his song Hallelujah (which I love by the way, especially the KD Lang rendition). He said that Sony had rejected the album with that song and others. Of course, today, we find it incredulous that such a beautiful song was rejected. Mr. Cohen was reflective and said "You put in your best efforts but you can't command the consequences." A very thoughtful and poetic response.

Enjoy the concert. I am sure it will be great.
