Just saw Leonard Cohen in concert

[scielle]

AMAZING!!!!

I'm so so so glad I got to see the man in concert - probably for first and last time, as he hasn't toured in 15 years! - and what a treat to finally get to hear the song you were named after (Suzanne) performed live! I don't care if he's 74 (that's, um, nearly 3x my age) - he's still the sexiest damn voice around. Go see this tour if you have the chance to do so - it's magical!

I would have loved to have seen him too. You're a lucky gal.

In the Sheila Weller book, "Girls Like Us" it tells how there was a romance between Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Joni actually is quoted as
saying the wonderful "A Case of You," was about Leonard Cohen. A few has suggested that it may have been James Taylor, a love interest too. This book is GREAT. It was just recently released.
