我时常庆幸自己是在冬天的水乡小镇听见了他,因为那里的暖日、湿润、安静还有质朴,才不至于让他的音乐沦为平常,也因此,才配得上他的诗意。 我决定在九月写下这篇文字,不只是为了赶上他八十岁的生日,也为了给北京的秋天,装点上最好的配乐。 他用毒品试探着世界的污浊,然...
评分2008年,在大不列颠规模最大、最受欢迎的摇滚音乐节上,面对着漫山遍野10万人潮,当落日余晖洒向大地,74岁的莱昂纳德唱起来了《哈利路亚》(Hallelujah)。 “人们的魂儿出窍了。”许多年轻人一边跟着大合唱一边疑惑,“这个酷老头儿怎么想到唱杰夫·巴克利的歌?怎么想到唱这...
评分 评分大半生的辛苦奔忙,创作时的苦思冥想,嗑药后的飘飘欲仙和坠入深渊时的痛苦挣扎,以及所有那些让他心花怒放,让他大动肝火,让他坠入爱河,让他拂袖而走,却从未真正离他而去的女人,一起成就了今天的他。如今,年届八旬的他,依然庄严优雅,依然锋利如刃,依然就在这儿。这位...
图书标签: LeonardCohen 传记 音乐 英文原版 人物传记 我爱这个男人。 加拿大 艺术与音乐
The definitive biography of one of the most emigmatic, beloved, and celebrated artists of our time.
Leonard Cohen's extensive and successful recent worldwide tour has demonstrated that his popularity across generations and borders has never been greater. Cohen's life is one of singular mystique. This major in-depth biography is the book Cohen's fans have been waiting for. Acclaimed writer/journalist Sylvie Simmons has interviewed more than 100 figures from Cohen's life and work, including his main muses; the women in his life -- from Suzanne and Marianne to Rebecca de Mornay and Anjani Thomas; artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Nick Cave, David Crosby, Judy Collins, and Philip Glass; his record producers; his closest friends, from childhood to adulthood; and many of the spiritual figures who have influenced his life.
Cohen, notoriously private, has granted interviews himself. Thoroughly researched and thoughtful, penetrating and lively, fascinating and revealing of stories and facts never read before, I'm Your Man offers new perspectives on Cohen and his life. It will be one of the most talked-about books of the season, and for years to come.
真想給老頭搞一塊當代拜倫的匾掛上。拜倫往希臘去,科恩往古巴、波蘭和以色列去,而立傳者由此提到了他英雄主義里夾雜的逃避和幻想:這些特質在詩人身上卻只顯得更迷人了。
评分唏噓13年的生日收到這本書,在17年生日之前終於讀完。年初讀完訪談集之後開始看的,解答了很多疑問。書尾彷彿時間還停留在12年,第二輪大巡演即將開始⋯⋯
评分读这本书的时候建议在Pandora上开一个科恩台,然后每天就随意听和他同时代的那些文艺老青年的歌,不少都是前天晚上书里刚刚提到的。传记很厚,因为老头子80多了也没闲着。
评分赶在演唱会之前看完了这本厚厚的传记(这个78岁老头的演唱会几乎是完美的)。觉得是部写得很好传记,在详细的事实和soul searching的诠释之间平衡的恰到好处,把他一生都在写和唱的那些诗的主题,爱,欲望,焦虑,生死,背后他的处境和想法写得挺透彻。所以是LC粉丝的一定要看这本书。然后你能看到大半个辈子都在用力生活所以无比焦虑的他,和到一个几乎在退休年龄时分才和自己的各种矛盾体和欲望和解了的他。他那一半虔诚的信徒一半老不正经的模样,他那“lazy bastard living in suit“,他那种种冷嘲热讽挖苦浪荡都只是为了伪装那个生活得太严肃的小老头儿。
评分All about Leonard Cohen. A long read of things that you want to and don’t have to know about him.
