I've grown up with the music Leonard Cohen. He fueled my teenage
angst; kept me company at the end of love affairs and generally gave me
permission to wallow in sorrow and melancholy. I only have to hear a
line from 'Suzanne' or 'So long Marianne' and I am thrown back to an
Annie on the brink of adulthood and not many days go by without one of his songs
popping up on my ipod. One of my favourites is 'Bird on the Wire' and I
have just spent 6 weeks cooking 200 meters from the place where this
song was conceived. Leonard Cohen's children and grandchildren still use
the house so I'm sure the walls resonate to his music.
I can't leave Hydra without taking you on a walk to his former home.
