Re: I met Bob Geldof at a Leonard Cohen gig and wrote a song

Cohen's lyrics are classical and timeless. They're about all of us and none of us. Everywhere and nowhere.

Leonard Cohen and Bob Geldof
Greetings, fellow Leonard fans! In the summer of 2009, I was fortunate enough to get tickets for Leonard Cohen's open air gig at Brooklands in Surrey. The traffic leading to the arena was awful and a storm gathered as we took our seats - but the rain and thunder only served to add to the drama of th...
