Cohen Heads? or Cohenites?

My friend calls me a Cohen Head as I have gone to 2 concerts and want to go to more..
Is there an official unofficial term for those of us in this situation on here?
My nephew was a Dead Head and the other followed Phish all over the country...
So does anyone know...are we fans...of our beloved Leonard
or Cohen Heads? or what?

I have to admit, it takes all of the maturity, ratinality and patience that I can summon (and then some) to read this and not scream:
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!"

Cohenheads?

I prefer Cohenistas, a term immediately commandeered after I saw it used by someone else somewhere else on the Forum...

I love it. I am a Canadian C.A. I don't even have to change my business cards. LOL

Depends, but you might end up with quite a few new Cohenverts...

the direction that this forum has taken of late I think the best generic term would be fruit cake. Therefore the collective noun for a group of such fans could perhaps either be a plate of fruit cakes or if you still remember them a cake stand of fruit cakes.
Take your pick........

The cake stand I think. Much brighter and colourful....

Bills Bar
I too would go for cake stand but for other reasons. We always did have one or two resident fruit cakes but since they took over the bakery I think for a collective noun 'plate' would be insufficent so I too will go for cake stand.

Personally, I am all for fruit cakes, especially if they come in bright colours and with a fresh taste; as long as you don't overeat, they do no harm... Only chocolate cakes, or possibly the notorious box of chocolates, can top them!

Thanks one and all...I actually like Cohenistas! or fruitcakes is good too.
Being touched by Leonard and his music and being is connecting us all...
Lets hope for more concerts!

I still prefer anything with the initials C.A. so I can use my exiting business cards. How about:
Cohen Admirers
Cohen Appreciators
Cohen Afficiandos
Cohen Afflicted
Cohen Attached
Cohen Abled

A fruit cake by any other name would taste as sickly sweet.

Might this collective be divided, as in life, between the Cohenbreads (those Messianic 5000 for whom extolling the godlike virtues of our man must be oft repeated and reaffirmed by others like a mantra) and the Cohengrates (those narky buggers, like me and thee, who prefer occasionally to express our admiration in less fulsome, less lovely and more world weary terms)?

I thought we were Beautiful Losers... (well, most of us anyway).

Back in 2000, when I was in Paris to see Tom Waits, I passed a bar which had a sign outside saying "Raindogs Welcome Here!" I'd never heard the term before but knew immediately what it meant.

It would be the same if I was passing a bar with a sign outside saying "Beautiful Losers Welcome Here!"
