A Thousand Kisses Deep
Click to viewA few years ago Leonard Cohen's manager made off with all his money, leaving him with $150,000 for retirement. So the 73 year old singer decided to go on tour again. Last night fuckgsus took me to see him at the Chicago Theater. The theater itself is a Baroque 1920's heap - some Hollywood fantasy of what a theater ought to look like.
Today he looks a bit like William S. Burroughs, a skinny old man in a suit and hat, but his voice is still rich and deep, and when you listen to him you know you are in the hands of a master.
I wasn't able to get anything more than a blurry photo of the stage on my cell phone, but the YouTube video above captures a lovely poem he recited between songs.
