Lenna Cohen: A Folk Hero of the 60s
Tom: I don't think I knew Cohen's stuff until we moved to Montreal in 1981. He was very much from that sort of post-war generation, very much in the shadow of the Holocaust. And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord in song with nothing on my lips but Hallelujah. That is a deeply Old Testament, sarmic thing to say. It's all gone horribly wrong, and we just present it before God and say, Hallelujah.
