A TOWER OF SONG

Onstage in Dublin
.
LEONARD ON LISBON
.
The living legend that is Leonard Cohen played a couple of concerts in Dublin recently to packed and appreciative crowds. At 73 the master wordsmith and purveyor of smooth tunes regaled the audiences with his finely honed songs and wry humour. At the end of one of the concerts the following topical comment was uttered to a delighted audience by the one with the 'golden voice'...


"You had a vote on Europe during the week".
The crowd cheers.
"Congratulations to you Ireland.
Still bewildering the world".
