Leonard Cohen at 75: He's our man
More than any other English Montreal artist, Cohen is beloved on the local francophone music scene. When he regularly renews his self-described “neurotic affiliations” with the city, he blends with young and old on the streets off the Main, his presence respectfully felt. The relationship with his local admirers is as intimate as it gets. Suzanne, from 1967, is one of the ultimate Montreal songs.
Julien Sagot of the popular progressive rock group Karkwa says: “He was a big part of my youth and he’s still there today. It was the ballads that got to me – especially, like everyone else, Suzanne. I also live in the Mile End area, not far from his place. He’s a monster in the history of music around the world, but we have the chance to see him in Montreal as a person. He’s our neighbour.”
