Leonard Cohen celebrates its 75th anniversary in Barcelona before 14,000 fans

BARCELONA. (IRIN) The musician and poet Leonard Cohen today celebrated its 75th anniversary with a concert at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona which was attended by about 14,000 people and with that closed their European tour. "Thank you for your congratulations, again I do not know when to celebrate that," he said after four songs and interrupted by loud applause from their fans who stood while he, smiling, excited and took off his hat.

The more melancholic singer with a hoarse voice ever known started as usual with 'Dance Me to the End of Love' and showed no fatigue crack during the recital, improper for someone of his age and especially After the incident three days ago in Valencia, where he stopped the show after four songs by a court of digestion.

Paused but equally vigorous 35 years ago, when she first performed in Spain, Cohen played great songs that have influenced many other artists, like 'Bird on a wire', 'Suzanne', 'Chelsea Hotel', Famous Blue Raincoat ',' Everybody knows' and 'Who by the fire', the latter two with the important participation of Aragon Javier Mas on guitar and mandolin.

More sober friend, the air heavy, the slight gestures of the great landscapes, the 'gentleman' started reciting 'a capella' 'Anthem', with an eerie silence in the Sant Jordi. When he began to sing, the band, composed of five musicians and three singers, followed, and Cohen presented "to the city of Barcelona" to all his musicians, his hat in the chest in a gesture of homage, starting with Mas and referring then the chorus Sharon Robinson as his "secret wife and collaborator.

After a retreat of years at a Zen monastery in California and the scam that he tried his representative, at approximately five million dollars, Cohen vicissitudes faced with a new tour, first in 15 years. If the extensive tour that began in April last year the Canadian and United States will close in mid-November, it has done for money or a sheer necessity to resume contact with the public, remains a mystery, like it is whether today was the last concert ever given in European lands.



。。。。ところで今日、初めてニトリに行った。
 ニトリは安くて安くて感激。感激。390円でフライパンを買ってきた。
 でもってその前には寝たきりママのお墓参りに行った。霊園は老人ばかりだ。日本は老人の国だとしみじみ思った。



 きのうheyheyheyの特番をチラっと見たら、70年代、80年代のアイドル映像を流していた。

 桜田淳子ちゃん、石野真子ちゃん、中山みぽりん。。。。みんなかわいいかわいい。作り笑顔が炸裂してて。。。そしてどの歌も聞き覚えがある。

 そうなんだよね。ヒット曲はアイドルが生むんだ。ヒット曲がないのは今、アイドルがいないからだよなぁ。

 そしてアイドルの笑顔は若い男の子だけじゃなく、オバちゃんやオジちゃんも笑顔にさせる。若くてカワイイ女の子の笑顔はいいねええ←変態オヤジ的。

 今みたいな時代だからこそ、アイドルって必要じゃないのかな? 
 そうそう。。。松本伊予ちゃんも映ってました。伊予はまだ16だから〜〜〜〜〜♪ あれは師匠の作詞です。すごいわ。あの歌詞はマジすごいと思う。

 あの歌は永遠に師匠に印税を与え続けていた。私はあの印税を何度計算したことか。

 伊予ちゃんもめちゃ可愛かったわぁ。

 絶対にいるべきだね、伊予ちゃんや真子ちゃん。

 でもそれには、阿久悠先生のような天才が必要なんだろうけど。。。阿久先生は本当にすごかったんだなぁ。。。。
