Best Event of 2008

My best moment of 2008 was seeing Leonard Cohen at the O2 Arena in London in July. A wonderful performer with a voice like a double Bushmills in a smokey bar. He was blatantly honest about his motives for getting back on the stage after 15 years; filling the arena he told us quite simply he needed the money. His accountant had pulled a few tricks and left the poet and songwriter pretty desolate after a lifetime of entertaining. The size of the audience the price of the tickets and the number of gigs he did will mean he can spend a few more nights in a Chelsea hotel room. His song Hallelujah which was the UK Christmas number 1 hit, should generate some royalties too. A good year for Leonard.
