Not related to Leslie ( :) I think... correct me if I'm wrong! ) but:

He's been around for a long time with a few "hits" but he is more of a poet than anything ... somewhat Dylanish I think. Lately his music has grown on me more and more and thot I would share this link with some newer stuff with those who might like it:

Love (early) Leonard! http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/indez.html

... even though he was voted the most popular singer by suicidal swiss girls! :lol: (according to my rock solid swiss gf at the time)

Of course it was cool that even as an old guy, before becoming a monk, he had hottie girl friends like Rebecca De Mornay. A friend worked on one of her movies (Hand That Rocked The Cradle) and Leonard hung around the set.

I guess we're lucky that his agent stole him blind forcing him to leave the Buddhist monastery here in LA and go back to work. :evil:

I came to Leonard Cohen late first hearing him on the soundtrack for Natural Born Killers. Good stuff.

I've been a big fan since the early 70's. I got him to autograph a CD for me a few years ago when he was at KCET doing an interview. The man is a brilliant poet. "I've seen the future and it is murder." When he wrote that I don't think even he knew how true it was.

Been listening to his stuff since the early 70s also. Don't have any of his stuff on CD; as soon as I have money for new music ...

Oh yeah.... CD's are those things you used to burn songs to, right?

Yes, new old music. iTunes isn't free. I buy some stuff from iTunes, but still buy physical discs if I want the whole album and higher quality audio.
