Leonard Cohen

(Community Matters) Wednesday night, joined Michael & Rachel Feferman at the Long Center for the Leonard Cohen concert – extraodinary, really.

Ok, embarrassed to admit I didn’t recognize the name when Kevin Keim first mentioned his tour. Of course, I thought a Cohen must be related to John Cohen and Pete Seeger. Then I listened to his music and of course knew his work.

He’s, obviously, foremost a poet – his songs perfectly frame his poetry.

At least 3 encores, we had to leave after the 3, though could have stayed all night. (I believe I heard 5 yesterday). He has the stride of a much younger man. We can only wish for his gait at the age of 75. A once in a lifetime experience.
