I can't say that any of the performances beat Leonard's versions of his own songs... although they had interesting interpretations. A few years ago, the late Jeff Buckley's ethereal take on "Alleluia" was the the most wonderful voice singing a wonderful song.<BR/><BR/>AnnieAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1157226756939490372006-09-02T14:52:00.000-05:002006-09-02T14:52:00.000-05:00I love Leonard cohen - he takes me back to my univ...I love Leonard cohen - he takes me back to my university days. favourites : Suzanne, marianne, The sisters of MercySue Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053188212601918182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1157213834447990922006-09-02T11:17:00.000-05:002006-09-02T11:17:00.000-05:00Oh, I hope the movie comes to Charleston.

The first time "Take This Waltz" came on my radio I was pulling into a parking lot, and was too overcome to leave the car right away. The scary thing about "Everybody Knows" is that LC didn't have to change the words with the years - those things are even more true now.<BR/><BR/>Blackswamp girl, if he sings that Bob Dylan song, let me know! I'd like to hear how it works.Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1155135256149865862006-08-09T09:54:00.000-05:002006-08-09T09:54:00.000-05:00Annie, by the way...

Once I have a little free internet time I'll need to further investigate this tribute concert, and whether I can happen upon a bootleg of it somewhere. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1155093986181517262006-08-08T22:26:00.000-05:002006-08-08T22:26:00.000-05:00Another LC fan here!

I admit, though, that I only found him via Concrete Blond's wonderful cover of "Everybody Knows" from the "Pump Up the Volume" soundtrack.<BR/><BR/>By the way, for some reason I keep wishing that I could hear LC cover Bob Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"... sometimes I imagine what it would sound like just to amuse myself. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1154966281518479742006-08-07T10:58:00.000-05:002006-08-07T10:58:00.000-05:00I have a Leonard Cohen CD in my living room right ...I have a Leonard Cohen CD in my living room right now. I bet I can convince my friend (from whom I've permanently "borrowed" the CD) to go check out the film with me. People have pretty strong feeling about LC- either they love him or hate him.

I read once that there really <I>was</I> a Suzanne, and that she <I>did</I> feed him tea and oranges...<BR/><BR/>The way he performed the song reminds me of the way the Catholic Sisters up in Quebec used to play during folk masses. My friend Jack (Jacques) and I used to travel up there together every few years to visit his aunt who was one of the nuns working at a home where they cared for the elderly retired priests. I love that style of folk guitar-playing and singing...<BR/><BR/>I have an old Leonard Cohen cassette packed away -- I'm going to go dig it out now. I also plan to find out where that movie is playing around here -- one of our local news magazines will probably have it listed.christin m p in massachusettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286830884358791544noreply@blogger.com
