The November 17th episode: Farewell Leonard Cohen
12:03pm - 1:03pm
Leonard Cohen died last week, so I saw fit to have a tribute to him on today's show. Thanks to all those who phoned in. So many songs I had to omit: "The Partisan," "Lady Midnight," I'm Your Man," Famous Blue Raincoat," "Waiting For the Miracle," "Blessed is the Memory" and many more. That catalogue runs deep. Also, while I love Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah," he really set the conditions for the awful glut of covers of that song.Co-sign Luke's sentiment in the ep. Included is a snippet from David Remnick's interview and a clip from the NFB's 1965 film "Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr Leonard Cohen." I highly recommend seeking out both the film (it's on YouTube) and Remnick's profile in the Oct 17th, 2016 issue of the New Yorker.
