The cradle of the best and of the worst. If you want a good LC bumper sticker, there's one from Russia for sale online. 'Nuff said. Well, also -- saw LC in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. What an amazing tour de force. Most of the songs from the second disc of the Essential Leonard Cohen and many from the first, if anything better than the originals. And he literally skipped off stage five times to wild standing ovations. Most Americans don't know who Allen Ginsberg is.

Where do all these people come from? Cohen, the author of some of the greatest songs of our time, and arguably one of the greatest artists of our time?? "Accidental Popular Figure"???? There is nothing accidental about him, he just doesn't seem a fan of the regular circus that accompanies musicians of his calibre. Oh, but you have 'eclectic' taste, so he mustn't be that well-known if YOU haven't heard of him. Aaargh? Where do all these people come from?

But I had never heard of him, even though I had very eclectic musical tastes. But I think he never had a huge promotional apparatus behind. He has been an almost accidental popular figure, a true poet turned troubadour. And it's really not about the musical line; here the music supports the words.

Dude, where have you been?? Well, enjoy discovering him now, it's always great to discover new artists, even if they've been around for 40 years ;) Um yeah, Leonard Cohen is this obscure singer that nobody's ever heard of, haha.

Wait...and also Bird On The Wire. Oh, and Suzanne...or maybe Tower Of Song. It's too hard to pick, I recommend just buying it all.

I think many people equally enjoy all stages of his career. I doubt that he would say that he changed his style to garner public interest. I think many people equally enjoy all stages of his career.
