Leonard Cohen and His Women

"The close presence of the woman", Leonard Cohen, singer, songwriter, poet, novelist, unflinching sage and celebrated ladies man has said, was always "a very important element. The presence of the female voice allows my voice to speak more clearly - and I've needed to hear them." Women who have sung and toured with him join the session, moderated by the author of I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen, which Rolling Stone said made every prior biography "practically unnecessary".

Streaming Music: A River of Cash or Up the Creek

Talkin' Baseball: Peanuts, Crackerjacks & Guitars

More than any other sport, baseball has a mythical, mystical quality which lends itself perfectly to music. From beloved team anthems to players' personal "at bat" music; from in-stadium sing-alongs to the countless songs about the game and its players, there is a unique and deeply intertwined relationship between the world of song and "America's Pastime."
