Who by false flattery? Who by Fire?
It's absolutly awfull that all these "artists" think about when they pay tribute too Leonard Cohen is that God Damn Hallelujah song. Leonard Cohen's version isn't even that good. Don't get me wrong Cohen is a God but people are idiots, he has so many good songs: take for example "So Long, Marianne," "Who by Fire" or the "Partisan," but all you hear in Tributes is Rufus Wainwright or Jan Arden playing Hallelujah! One tribute I saw they played hallelujah twice! I think it is absolutely disrespectfull to such a gifted songwritter. It's like the only song they have ever heard of his isn't even his version it's a cover by Jeff Buckley!
