    Saw Leonard Cohen last night.

    Out of the blue, a friend called me yesterday wanting to know if I wanted a free ticket to go see Leonard Cohen.
    UNBELIEVABLE SHOW!!!!
    It's truly hard to believe that he's 75 years old. He's the most suave guy on the planet.
    Any fans here?

            That's really cool, I've always been curious about seeing one of his shows. Wow, 75 years old and he's still going strong.

              Can’t call myself a fan, but he is a legend. I’m glad you enjoyed the show.

                  I just thought of something,

                  Back in the 70's my dentist's name was Lenny Cohen.

                  I wonder if they're the same person

                      ^^ Google, coach. Great performer, I saw him live back in the late 80's.

                        Last Sunday, I was by Radio city. Cohen had a show that evening and performed there the night before. Both shows were sold-out.

                        I can't say I'm a fan. I really am not sure if I'm familiar with any of his music.

                          The man has had quite an interesting life. He has a really cool voice.
                          You may have heard his songs in the film "Pump Up the Volume" and (used to very good effect) during the opening credits of "Natural Born Killers".

                              Leonard Cohen is a Poet, Novelist, Artist, and Musician from Montreal, Quebec. Many people have never heard of him, but they've probably heard a song of his covered by any number of artists including Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, REM, Aaron Neville, Jennifer Warnes, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Joe Cocker, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, Fairport Convention, Marianne Faithful, Sisters of Mercy, etc, etc, etc...
