Musicians on Live in Dublin
I realise that it's ineffably tedious for those of you who've known Leonard for 40 years and attended every concert on his recent six-year tour to have to listen to the witterings of someone who is only just discovering him for the first time, but I persist in thinking this website, if it's serious ...

Re: Roshi again
Thanks- I searched for discussion on this, but all the refs I found were to the thread on his death.

Re: Favourite song from Old Ideas [POLL]
To celebrate its third anniversary, it's worth saying in general what a great album this is. Though most of the songs are on Dublin Live, and though I love the way most of them are done, listening to the studio album versions again, they have effects and subtleties which the live performances don't ...

Re: LC's most inspired songs about having no inspiration
Thanks- interesting. They sound like much earlier songs than 2006. I wonder if LC still plans to use versions of them in a future album?

Re: Music You're Listening To
I'm listening almost constantly to LC at the moment (having 40+ years to catch up on), the second and third albums during the day and Popular Problems at night.
If I weren't, I'd be listening to Renaissance sacred choral music- something like Stile Antico, or the Cardinall's Musick.

Roshi again
I'm aware this is a controversial topic, but I think it's one that's worth raising. I refrained from raising it on the thread announcing his death, which seemed disrespectful, so I raise it here instead, interested to see whether anyone will take it up or it will just be deemed too hot to touch. Wha...

Re: The Moral Strength of Leonard Cohen - Norman Lebrecht 9/
Thanks, this is very persuasive. It certainly makes sense of the line 'There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand', which never made any sense to me before.

LC's most inspired songs about having no inspiration
It struck me that LC has recorded a surprising number of inspired songs about having no inspiration. Off the top of my head, I can think of the following: Last Year's Man Diamonds in the Mine Death of a Ladies' Man If it Be your Will Waiting for the Miracle By Rivers Dark Alexandra Leaving Going Hom...

Re: Sharon Robinson in Europe
Thanks very much for the link. Do we get to know what she will be singing? Surely 'Alexandra Leaving' at least?

How does one go about getting tickets? When do they go on sale?

Re: Live in Dublin order of songs- do you like it?
Thanks! Well, I am still listening to my 'therapy run' from Gypsy Wife to Anthem several times a day, but I expect I will probably get tired of it eventually and turn to the stuff on the second CD (which, let's face it, is also fantastic). 'One heck of a guy' has what he considers the best video of ...

Re: I've Got a Little Secret
Thanks- odd they took it out. Maybe LC has produced a new version and wants to keep it for the next album?

Leonard Cohen in 2015- and beyond
There doesn't seem to be a topic up yet about LC in 2015 (except that there won't be a tour), so I thought I'd start one. What's he going to do next? Well, we know there are still some songs he's working on that haven't yet appeared on an album, so with any luck there will be another one before too ...
