Leonard Cohen on Sundance

This film is only going to be on one more day, but is well worth watching if you are a Cohen fan. His music is covered by various other artists and Cohen speaks about how he comes to his lyrics. It's rare footage. U2 is featured and Leonard sings with them at the end of the film.

Huh! Leonard is also on tourfor the first time in fifteen years. I wish I was Canadien. No US tour dates. I sure hope he adds some before the end of the year.

I like "Over There" and "Give My Regards to Broadway".

I wasn't aware that Leonard wrote those songs. He does do a funky version of Irving Berlin's Always. It's so funky you could strip to it.

Perhaps I could, but I'd be afraid of any audience that might enjoy my act.

It was good wasn't it? Rare footage. How far would you go to see Leonard in concert? He's touring, but no US dates. Hopefully he'll add some.

I'd go 6 hours.....but better do it quick, he's an old fart
