TimmyB Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Happy 70th Birthday Leonard Cohen, May you have many many more. And may you come to Toronto to perform live so I can finally get to see you in concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Cheers to Cohen.He has a new album coming out in october. [color:"black"] The Pro I leave my silence to a co-operative of poetswho have already bruised their mouths against it.I leave my homesick charm to the scavengers ofspare change who work the old artistic corners.I leave the shadow of my manly groin to those whowrite for pay.I leave to several jealous men a second-rate legendof my life.To those few high school girlswho preferred my work to Dylan'sI leave my stone earand my disposable Franciscan ambitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Did anybody else study Cohen in highschool?? I had a great Grade 11 teacher who would bring in the tape recorder and we would study his songs. Love Cohen! Happy b-day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Did anybody else study Cohen in highschool?? I sure did ! grade 10 english class I had no idea he was a singer/performer at the time just fell in love with the poem "Suzanne Takes You Down" in grade 12 i dated this university girl who was a Cohen fanatic, and my collection and admiration for the man grew from there. he's also a buddhist practitioner, so he de man in my eyes happy birthday Leonard, and i'm with TimmyB regarding a show up here...that'd be the bomb! can someone back me up on this or am i hallucinating...i remember Cohen toured in the late 80's and played something like 6 shows in a row at the Academy Theatre in Lindsay. All sold out of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
