Leonard Cohen and the Greek Influence

A good extract from Sylvie Simmons new biography of Leonard Cohen appeared in the Telegraph Magazine on 27 October 2012. Some great photos by James Burke. See the quotation from Steve Sanfield on how important "those Greek years and the Greek sensibility were to Cohen and his development and the things he carries with him. Cohen likes Greek music and Greek food, he speaks Greek pretty well for a foreigner."

Apparently Leonard still carries a komboloi.
