I think I first saw cohen at the troubador way back in the 60's when he was bumming around london, then again at the Isle of wight festival , I had 3 albums for years up in the attic. I didn't bother with him for years then rediscovered him through the internet. His lyrics always amused me even though they where dubbed 'music to commit suicide to'. I went to a recent tour concert and was smitten again as I can relate to his themes on getting old. Closing Time is now my favourite. (she's a hundred but she's wearing something tight)
