Interesting speculations maybe but they really speak about it in Cyberpresse today and they say that the official announcement will really happen next Monday: Pure coincidence probably.

PS. Apparently we, french quebeckers, have the reputation of being unable to keep a secret.

So, here's a question ... how bad would it be if someone guessed it correctly?
I mean, are we talking major embarrassment?
On the other hand, does the first person to guess it right win a prize?

A pair of good tickets for the Montreal show will do the job thank you.

... it is obvious ...
Leonard told us all in 1997 (in More Best of ..):
"It's going to happen very soon. The great event which will end the horror. Which will end the sorrow. Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down, I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards. This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge into suffering, for the last 200 million years. What a lovely night that would be. What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again, and the retired nightingales, pick up their dusty tails, and assert the majesty of creation!"
Hallelujah! Such synchronicity!
[... please can I claim my prize, Jarkko, oh cuel webmaster? ...]
ps and Tuesday is the full moon ... xx

It's actually quite obvious when you think about the relevance of the "New York time" component....
He's taking Manhattan.

it has nothing to do with any of his songs, or new album, or the DVD, and is not about any award, nor a TV program!
nothing to do with his songs?
So he's going on a non-singing tour?

I think you got it, Manna. He's going to announce a poetry reading tour!

Well, my guess would be that Leonard has decided that he will, after having completed a long tour through the USA and Canada, move to beautiful Europe because he enjoyed last year's tour so much

This doesn't seem to include the chatroom guess too, does it?

(and I'm still asking WHERE Leonard is!) That is, if that chatroom is still working, which I'm not sure...

Leonard must be feeling like he's number one, top of the list (well, he is...isn't he?).

George Bush knows about democracy already. He was elected President for the maximum two terms. Were you at one of the Royal Albert Hall concerts by any chance
