    I liked him too.  I heard Joni Mitchell talking about him in an interview that someone suggested I watch on youtube.  There are some talented entertainers who really do not want the celebrity part of their craft.  She is one of them.


    On another note, and since I have your attention, what do Canadians call the native Indians in Canada?

  • The politically correct term here is Aboriginal or indigenous, but honesty most people just say Indians. Those other terms are what are used in media or government for the most part.

    For one thing, he is responsible for this amazing masterpiece...

    Hallelujah

    I did my best, it wasn't much
    I couldn't feel,
    so I tried to touch
    I've told the truth,
    I didn't come to fool you
    And even though it all went wrong
    I'll stand before the Lord of Song
    With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah...


    If that were not enough...

    Leonard was a poet and a true musician responsible for many great pieces that bring joy,  tears, and inspires.  I can listen to his music over and over and every single time seems like the first. I feel alive with Leonard.  His music makes laugh, makes me sad, makes me cry, makes me dream.

    He is but another great artiste that graced us with his presence whom I failed to have the greatest possible pleasure to experience his gift.

  • That song is on my top 5 favourite of all time. At least when I’m not busy being a gangsta‘ rapper.
