Last night when I clicked the "purchase" button for one of the last remaining orchestra seats for Wednesday night's performance at the Paramount, I sort of gasped. I'm paying twice what I probably would for a front row seat to see Madonna or Coldplay in order to see a septuagenarian French Canadian Jewish geezer. But I'd rather see Leonard Cohen at any price instead of those two acts.
I just hope he performs the above song (ever more appropriate with each passing year) and not the over-covered "Hallelujah".

JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.
