For you Colorado (or jet-setting) Cohen fans, his coolness is appearing on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 8:00 pm at Red Rocks Amphitheatre just outside Boulder.

Tickets are reportedly on sale for $40.00-$190.00 (for reserved seating third row from the stage). (See here to buy tickets on-line.)

We experienced our teen angst at the height of Leonard Cohen’s international, block-buster popularity, and it appears that the Great One is more popular than ever—as ably demonstrated by Cohen’s stupendous and excellent current world tour that has elicited nothing but the highest and best reviews by critics and fans alike.

By all accounts, Cohen is a better performer than ever, and his well known giving spirit and generosity continues—with substantial six figure gifts to many organizations serving the less fortunate in many of the venues in which he as appeared on his recent world tour.

What a good and generous human being Cohen is! (See here.)

Expectations are understandably high for such a prolific and talented singer songwriter and iconic musician and performer. As stated by the Denver Decider:


“The word on Leonard Cohen’s current tour has been fluctuating somewhere between serene joy and utter breathlessness, which shouldn’t be surprising for an artist followed with such Zeal. From the early folk masterpieces he made in the ’60s to his later futuristic cabaret (not to mention his novels, which have been more than well-received), Cohen in the wake of Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man, a 2005 documentary that worked to survey Cohen’s life and work anew. Expect a highly reverent hush here.”


We remember you from a point of teen angst Leonard Cohen; we profoundly respect you as a kind, caring, gentle and ethical human being and wish you well. (We dig your music too.)
