Leonard Cohen

I’ve been a fan of Leonard Cohen for many years. I used to enjoy listening to his music when I was a teenager, despite my sister moaning about his ‘dreary droning’. His music is quite dark and brooding - in fact it has been termed music to commit suicide to- but he has lightened up over the years. He was quite jolly when I saw him in Bournemouth a few years ago - he did a tour in his 70s as he lost all his money. It was hugely successful. The reason for me reminiscing about him today is that I saw the film ‘Marianne and Leonard’ today. It was very sad and I came home and looked out the music of his that we have at home. It was a good, but very sad, film. Highly recommended though if you’re a Cohen fan.
