Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen is the Jewish Bryan Ferry. In the excellent
liner notes of his 1975 The Best of Leonard Cohen, he explains the suave
cover photo: "I rarely ever look this good, or bad, depending on
your politics." That sums the man up. Running for the money and the
flesh, especially the flesh, Cohen was the lit-erary rogue who strummed
his acoustic guitar and croaked of love and its torments. He emerged from
Montreal in the 1960s, an acclaimed poet and novelist well into his thirties
before he even made his first album. Yet for all his poetic angst and
folkie sorrow, Cohen could never hide the fact that he was getting more
rock-star booty than any Canadian before or since. Whispering in his glamorously
tattered voice, he still makes his songs sound like sinful confidences
shared over bottles of bloody-red wine.
Cohen He spent most of the 1990s on a mountaintop Zen Buddhist retreat,
while Kurt Cobain was down in Seattle singing, "Give me a Leonard
Cohen afterworld/So I can sigh eternally." Ten New Songs offered
"Alexandra's Leaving," "In My Secret Life," and "You
Have Loved Enough," the epitaph Cohen has been writing for himself
throughout his career. Of his three live albums, the good one is Field
Commander Cohen. Cohen's record company has released three best-of anthologies,
but bizarrely, none of them include "Joan of Arc."
