| Born September 21, 1934 as Leonard Norman Cohen in Montreal, Canada, Leonard was already a published novelist and poet when he made his entrance into popular music in the late sixties. He became an unique singer / songwriter in the music industry. He just released his latest album (2003). At the age of 17 Leonard formed a Montreal country & western band called "The Buckskin Boys" and he studied English literature, first at 'McGill' and later at 'Columbia Universities'. In 1956, while he was still an undergraduate, a collection of his first poetry was published as: "Let us compare mythologies". |

| He will be 70 this year, I will be 46. For me he means comfort for 30 years of lonelyness and passion : my all time favorite since I was 16. Thank you Leonard. |

| My favorite song: Joan of Arc Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc as she came riding through the dark; no moon to keep her armour bright, no man to get het through this very smokey night. She said: I'm tired of the war, I want the kind of work I had before, a wedding dress or something white, to wear upon my swollen appetite. Well, I' glad to hear you talk this way, you know I've watched you riding every single day and something in me yearns to win such a cold and lonesome heroine. "And who are you? she sternly spoke to the one beneith the smoke. "Why, I'm fire", he replied, "And I love your solitude, I love your pride" "Then fire, make your body cold, I' going to give you mine to hold" saying this she climbed inside to be his one, to be his only bride. And deep into his firery heart he took the dust of Joan of Arc, and then she clearly understood if he was fire, oh, then she must be wood. I saw her wince, I saw her cry, I saw the glory in her eyes. Myself I long for love and light, but must it come so cruel, and oh, so bright? |
