Leonard Cohen was the soundtrack to many of my youthful years spent studying in the frigid winds and pelting snows of montreal. I found something seductive about his voice, and his lyrics nipped at my ears with a weight only found in significance. His poems were accessible to me and I was inexorably drawn to the art of this man who had experienced depression deeper than any well I had ever swum in. I was generally pretty happy with the pace and progression of my life but there were notes, leonard specific notes, that he played which were intimate caresses to me. I wasn't depressed but drawn in. The world he created in his songs and poems was profound in a way that was so simple. He depressed many including himself, to the point where he had to leave montreal and cloister himself on the top of a mountain, but for me he was some sort of tonic. Whether he sung about the sisters of mercy, lady midnight, or the partisan, for a moment I lived in his song.
Leonard's landing in Tel aviv within the next few weeks to do a concert in Tel aviv with all the proceeds donated to charities under the umbrella of the Peres center for peace. Our palestinian neighbours refused a concert in their territories as long as a concert took place in israel proper. So leonard being the profound peacenik that he is decided to make some lemonade and demonstrate his commitment to developing calm and partnership in the region by inviting proposals from peace NGO's that his concert proceeds would fund. It's a brilliant idea since he receives not a penny, graces us with his presence and stays out of the political posturing by making a financial and morale contribution at what seems like a crucial time to affect the palestinian and israeli street.
I wish I could go to his show, but the price is to high for me. The tickets have already sold out anyway. Madonna is playing tonight and tommorow in Tel Aviv. I'm just not into the madonna phenomena. Her beats are fun to dance to but cost of the tickets is better spent on itunes downloads with money left over for a cycling trip in the golan.
