L.C. GETS NO CREDIT

Post by QUEENWEEN »

I am an avid listener of "Kidd Kraddick In The Morning". On numerous occasions I have heard him make reference that "Hallelujah" was written by Jeff Buckley. The first two times I heard this, I brushed it off as Kidd not doing his research. Well he made reference to this again yesterday on his show. He comments about how great of a writer he is. I would understand if he wanted to say that Jeff Buckley sang the song good or whatever, but to give all credits to him, and not even mention Leonard Cohen? Now this song is known as the "Jeff Buckley" song on Kidds Morning show. Please visit http://www.kiddlive.com and send Kidd a message about this big mix up.

Thanks for your support. I sent an email, and received no reply. I've heard most emails go ignored, so I figured if he received several on the same subject he would have no choice but to notice them. And yes, I do live in Texas. I have been a Leonard Cohen fan for about 11 years. I am new to this site. I am really loving this place, and will be here daily. :D

Me too. Gave him a link to an original You Tube performance, so he's got no excuse now.
