Leonard Cohen Cancels In Europe
Filed under: Music Minute > Old People
Legendary singer Leonard Cohen has been forced to reschedule his European concert dates!
Cohen, who won the Lifetime Achievement Special Merit Award at last week's Grammy's, is coping from a "compression injury in his lower back" while exercising and has been ordered to take time off to recoup.
"He has been advised by physicians to follow the typical four-to-six month regime of physical therapy prescribed for athletes with similar injuries," say reps for the singer.
"Doctors have confirmed that Mr. Cohen is otherwise in terrific shape, thanks to years of exercise and a careful diet, and simply needs appropriate time to recover from the lower back injury."
Disappointing!
Here's to a speedy recovery!

Re: Not All The Same – By the way #2. If you don't want to vaccinate your child fine. Otherwise quit spamming and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Re: Not All The Same – wake up douchebag!!!!!!!!
First We Take Manhattan… then we take Berlin.

Re: Not All The Same – You're a stupid fuck. Your kid probably has autism because you were drunk and high the whole time you were pregnant. You should be happy all your kid has is autism because it could have had polio or complicatons from measles like pneumonia or something and be dead. I'm really tired of seeing all of your stupid bullshit because you're wrong. You also type in caps like a child. Fuck off.
If you want a lover, I'll do anything you ask me to.

And if you want another kind of love, I'll wear a mask for you,

If you want a partner take my hand,

Or if you want to strike me down in anger, here I stand,
*
I'm your man.

My parents are old hippies and I was raised on their music. Love, love, love Leonard Cohen. His manager screwed him out of almost every penny he had but he came back stronger than ever. Love ya Leonard, feel better soon.
HE LOOKS LIKE A DIK
Love Leonard, get well soon

I did my best, it wasn't much
*
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
*
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
*
And even though it all went wrong
*
I'll stand before the lord of song
*
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelulliah

Everyone thinks they can sing that song. Very few people can. k d Laing did an awesome cover. Justin Timberlake did this song on the Haiti benefit.
*
Halleluliah!
Cohen is God. Get well Leonard.
Who?
Re: PENNSYLVANIA GIRL – Sometimes something good can come of evil. Had he not been cheated, LC might never have toured again.

And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed…
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
Leonard Cohen is amazing!
He wrote my favorite song of all time.
Maybe I've been hear before
I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
love is not a victory march…
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
"LEGENDARY"? WHO THE FUCK IS LEONARD COHEN–THE HEAD OF GOLDMAN SACHS? IT SOUNDS LIKE HE BELONGS IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP.
Leonard Cohen, the poet who puts his beautiful words to music. Hope he gets well soon.
Re: h8terboi –
Not only do you suck……………..but you're also a dick.
Well my friends are gone and my hair is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the tower of song
He is my inspiration. This man is a legend and an absolute genius. If you don't know his stuff - get to know it - brilliant.
Get well soon
Sincerely, S. Mc
"Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee." - Leonard Cohen (Bird on a Wire)
Re: Susie-Q – yeah well you suck…..my dick
Re: h8terboi – I understand that you have the largest collection of Pete Wentz memorabelia in three countries. Nice job. As far as that blow job goes, I'll bet you'd like that wouldn't you. It's too bad that everyone laughs at you because your teeny little weenie looks more like a button and you have to tie a string around it so you can pull the sting and find the poor little thing. I hope your mama can't track your potty fingers on her computer because she'll probably turn you over her knee and spank you. But you like that don't you? I hear she does too. And for the record. Leonard Cohen is a god.
Long live the talented Leonard Cohen.
He's not legendary for his singing. He's legendary for his fantastic, mind blowing song-writing and poetry!!! And he's a billion times more classy, sophisticated, talented and intelligent than all those other douchebags you write about on a daily basis.
Get the facts right, m'kay?
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin. Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in. Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove. Dance me to the end of love.
Cohen is a legend and a genius songwriter. It's great he is still touring in his 70's. This is a man who has lived a long and fascinating life, and had flings with many women, including Joni Mitchell and Janis Joplin.
