Christof, Wow. I’d be honoured to be included. The photo is from Dublin near Leonard Cohen’s hotel (The Greshem) on 10/9/2013. It was the day before the concert I had tickets for on 11th. I was back to Dublin a second time after being there the previous year for the concert at Kilmainham. Walking back to my hotel, around the corner. I saw LC with a few people on the other side of the street. Since I happened to have a small gift for him and a book of poetry for him to sign ( Book of Longing). in case I happened by some chance to see him, I took a deep breath, crossed the street and spoke to him and gave him the gift. He was very humble and grateful about the present and suggested that one of the team who was outside with him take a photo of me with him. It was an amazing and gratifying experience being able to thank him for all he’d meant to me. He was so kind and generous and I’ll never forget those few minutes as well as the five concerts I attended before he stopped touring. Best wishes, Fay

The photo was taken on November 13th, 2009 in San Jose, California. I had been at the Las Vegas concert the night before and had flown to San Jose with a crowd of other Cohenites. By luck I was staying at the same hotel as Leonard and arrived at the same time as him and the band. The photo was taken by Albert Noonan, videographer extraordinaire!

Spazierte man in der KW 45 durch die Strassen Montreals sah man viele Menschen mit einer roten Mohnblume am Revers. Einige der Künstler, die beim TOWER OF SONG-Tribute To LEONARD COHEN – KONZERT teilnahmen taten es Ihnen nach. Und was hat es mit der Mohnblume auf sich, die z.B. auch STING und ELVIS COSTELLO trugen?
Der Gedenktag wurde am 11. November in Kanada und anderen Commonwealth-Ländern (seit dem Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges mit dem Veterans Day in den USA zusammenfallend) begangen, um den Angehörigen der bewaffneten Streitkräfte zu gedenken, die in der Dienstpflicht starben. Der rote Mohn, das Wahrzeichen des Gedenktages, blühte im Ersten Weltkrieg über die Schlachtfelder von Flandern und wurde in den Zeilen von „In Flanders Fields“ verewigt. Das Gedicht, das Oberstleutnant John McCrae von der Canadian Expeditionary Force schrieb, war ein Lieblingstext von Leonard Cohen, weil sein Vater, Nathan Cohen, zusammen mit anderen Mitgliedern seiner Familie, im Krieg diente. Den Remembrance Day Poppy ebenso stolz wie ihn STING und COSTELLO auf der Bühne trugen oder ihn wie so viele KanADIER auf der Straße PRÄSENTIEREN, war ein grundlegendes Ritual in Leonard Cohens Leben.
