Leonard Cohen Special
Rara // 1100-1200 11.11.08
leonard cohen special
This week's Rara it's all about the man born with the Golden Voice: we'll be playing Leonard classics and personal favourites, covers, tributes and homages to our favourite Quebecoise singer-songwriter. Well, second favourite: our November 18th show will be all about Celine Dion, our hearts will go on and on and on until our declerations of love get through her bouffant 'do into her French soul, or l'âme, as it were. Ha, that's awfully close to LAME, which is totally not how we secretly, actually feel about Celine Dion at all and none of this is a lie.
Aye, anyway, so Laughing Len SPESH FEST!
