Leonard Cohen

Salon this morning has a very interesting article about Leonard Cohen's first tour in 15 years.

I didn't know much about music when I was younger (except what I heard on top 40 radio) and I am still no expert, but Cohen's music has drifted in and out of my life since I first heard 'Suzanne.'

It's been called "slitting you wrist music." Tom Smith, bless him, wrote a song about that.

In the article it mentioned a book by Cohen called Beautiful Losers and I just requested it from the Undergrad library. Since I'm trying to figure out why I request and read what I do I figured I'd make a note here.

P.S. I just finished Mesuline (re-read) and started The Virtu (re-read) because I bought Corambis.

I have The Mirador as well, but I can't find it. May have to get it from the library.

The above series, for those not in the know, is by the lovely and talented Sarah Monette.
