Five Things I've Learned: The Life, Music, and Legacy of Leonard Cohen
Hi everyone, I have not seen this in my news alerts for our forum, so some of you may not know about it. As part of the visiting "Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything" exhibit at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, they are offering an online workshop presented by Sylvie Simmo...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Thank you for sharing 4! I haven't seen it before of course.
The only things I will add regarding observations is:
"Prince, you need a shave." ... and it looks like someone clawed his right cheek. Those blondes can be rough.

Re: Leonard Cohen, Untold Stories: The Early Years
I just finished this book. I saved it as reward and encouragement for completing a few other books that I was compelled to read. Was it the reward I was hoping for and expected? Yes. Was it gossipy and degrading to our hero? I am sure there are some who would say yes to that as well. But for me, I c...

Anyone news on new music from Adam?
Hello, Wondering if anyone has heard if Adam is working on a new album? I enjoyed his performance at Leonard's memorial concert in Montreal and love his last album. I follow him on Instagram and have seen hints that maybe he is working on some new music. I'm hoping that that is true. Does anyone kno...

Re: The MAC Exhibition for LC to go to New York, Copenhagen, San Francisco
We had tickets to go to San Francisco for this when it was first slated for the CJM in November 2020. Unfortunately, it was delayed due to the virus, and life has intervened since, making it doubtful that we will get to go. I know this sounds like sour grapes, but after reading about the CJM exhibit...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
After watching the 1988 San Sebastian version of Avalanche again, I was about to ask Bev what made it her favorite... but then I saw she said "everything about it was perfection", so it sounds like the answer to that would be 'everything'. I do love Leonard's live performances in the 80's....

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Maybe now on reflection, thoughts could have changed or in fact, remained the same :) I forgot to answer B4's comments about SOLAH....... Looking at what I said in this thread before is a bit like seeing pictures of myself when I was younger... in many ways. ;-) Yes, I still feel very much the same...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Vickie, I must take exception to your attitude to the various live recordings available to us. I suggest that you pick a song that you have several versions of, including both live and studio and listen to them in a batch. It allows you to compare arrangement alterations, lyric alterations, phrasin...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Sorry for not saying much lately... I don't get much time to check out the forum now that school is in person again, and I am still getting the donkeys settled from our second move since leaving Idaho. The "Jews are clever" is the same as saying all of the other thing like "the Captai...

Re: A SINGER MUST DIE online streaming
I agree with Joe! Just to see the faces of the artists as they performed was proof of their respect and admiration for Leonard's work. He has truly done it . Although one could argue whether the man himself has succeeded in achieving immortality (not that I believe immortality was ever Leonard's goa...

Re: Remembering Leonard
My absence here on the forum is no reflection of the impact Leonard continues to have on my life daily since the year of his death, and it is no reflection of the impact those of you here continue to have on my life personally. Carry on Mr. Cohen! Vickie (Edited to keep Alan from practicing his newl...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
4, You sounded so reluctant to come up with your choices, haha! Aren't we all? Doing so confirms we are actually leaving here after all! I am not surprised by your choices though. They suit you well. But if I were to attend, I would add FBR and Steer Your Way....but nobody asked what we think should...

Re: Along the way... Discovering Leonard's albums
Dave brought up the point that virtually nobody passes without notice.... although it may only come from the public health personnel who are tasked with the internment of the body in some fashion. Even their indifference is a choice that requires some awareness of that individual. I guess Dave's poi...
