Re: New Leonard Cohen biography by Sylvie Simmons
Lizzy, it's so good to hear from you, and I'm so glad you remember me! It's good to see you still have the same signature - we need some things not to change. Thank you for your kind comments. It was hard on all of us when Leonard passed, like a universal light left to journey somewhere else. I hope...

Re: New Leonard Cohen biography by Sylvie Simmons
This vacation, I finished a 529 page book on Leonard Cohen (Sylvie Simmons’s “I’m Your Man”), the longest book I’ve read in a long while. I learned a great deal, and my understanding about his journey put much of his work into context. He struggled for much of his adult life to heal his depression, ...

End of Love 2CD set
Does anyone know anything about this 2cd set from a 1993 Zurich broadcast? It's selling on Amazon for $18.59 in the U.S.
Thanks, and it's good to be back!

Re: New book: Tangle of Matter & Ghost
Mmmmmm... delicious! The writings on Leonard and his body of work continue to become more and more serious. What Leonard has worked for all his life. Lizzy, I don't know if you remember me, but you shipped me a Holocaust memorial pin several years ago. I'm glad you're still on this forum. Best, Gli...

Re: Worst ever LC tracks
........almost anything on "Death of Ladies Man" (except for "Memories," which is so delightfully outrageous). For me, the album, for a variety of reasons, doesn't work, but I really think it's pretty anomalous relative to the rest of his work. Outside of that album, I really can...

Re: In times of great suffering
Margie, beautifully expressed. The connection you feel with Leonard speaks well to the magic of his uncanny ability to connect several levels beneath the surface with listeners, just as that that ineffable mystery serves as the connecting tissue of the Forum itself. So frequently, I can feel his mus...

Re: Director of "Phaedra" Jules Dassin dies at 96
Dassin was not only a great director, but a classy, gutsy human being. Blacklisted during the U.S.'s McCarthy blacklist, Dassin left behind a thriving directorial career ("Night and the City," a Richard Widmark [also recently deceased] noir classic) to try desperately to revive his ruined ...

Re: Thompson Vs Cohen Poll
Actually, I'm starting get a hankering for LC's version on "Live Songs," C&W ala his Buckskin Boys days.
It's a hoot!

Re: that bloody Buckley Hallelujah again
A minority voice for the majority: I like Buckley's version......of course, the whole damned thing is so subjective, I'm not sure discussion can get much behind "I like this and I don't like that," but here it is: I find his take harrowing (in a good way). There's an underlying desperation...

Re: I find Leonard's Music Absolutely Liberating
Re Leonard's being depressing, or writing music to slit your wrists by: I recall Roger Ebert saying to Gene Siskel on their show a number of years ago, that a "feel good movie" had nothing to do with whether or not it was a comedy or tragedy. Any well-made film was automatically a feel goo...

Re: "If it be Your will."
For me.........the Wainwright, Wasser, et. al version of Hallelujah. Too bad it never made the cd soundtrack.
