Pumping: Leonard Cohen — Live In London

blog-stereo.gif

What should be obvious after you listen to this is that Leonard Cohen doesn't have to follow any rules whatsoever, purely because he's Leonard Cohen.

A man in his 70s, half hitting on his backup singers that are half his age would normally come across as a perv, but not Cohen. Why? He's Leonard Cohen.

Anyone else in their 70s woud have trouble playing a set that's over two hours long, but not Leonard Cohen. Why? He's Leonard Cohen.

Someone once said to me that Leonard Cohen is a professional sleaze, but doesn't come across as such. Why? He's Leonard Cohen, and that makes it poetry.

That he's still able to perform at such a level at his age and that his voice has aged well makes him a true legend.
