Dearest Musicologistas!
Let's get together and be all right! Wednesday
evening, May 28th, 2025 at 7:30pm. See the
ZOOM LINK below.
We'll move to another of the great Jewish
Folk/Pop/Rock writer/singers who sit atop their
stellar reputations for great poetic lyrics and
heartbreaking songs.
Many of you might know of Leonard Cohen
because of one song: Hallelujah!. He wrote and
released as many studio albums as the Beatles,
as well as many volumes of poetry and even a
pair of novels. If you don't know much about him,
and you watch the documentary below, shot while
he toured in 1972, I think you'll become captivated
with his talent.
His relationship with his parents, his children, and
most of all his Judaism, are actually quite
fascinating. He grew up in Westmount, Quebec,
(a suburb of Montreal), in an orthodox household,
and from there found his way into a struggling
literary career that took him to Greece, to Cuba, to
Israel, to New York, and ultimately to Los Angeles. Somewhere along that way, he broke down,
somewhat against his will, and began singing.
