It’s so ridiculous. I’m sorry for the state of your nation right now and truly hope things can be righted sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, I hope you get to make that journey north, there and back again.

Leonard Cohen at Holy Heart of Mary high school auditorium in St. John's, Newfoundland. Bob Dylan played the local stadium the week after, but nothing will beat sitting in the front row listening to Leonard sing for four hours.

They could ask Canada for help. I'm sure that would go well.
