Old Geezers

I play in a football team that has a back four with an average age of 47 (and a 15 year old goal-keeper bizarrely enough). So I guess it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that a 74 year old was able to sell out a 16,000 capacity this month. Leonard Cohen started at 8pm and, including a short break, was still going when we left just after 11pm. I missed Leonard Cohen the first time round, and I must admit I find his music a little downbeat in large doses, but he was fantastic. He turned the O2 into a smoky New York club.
