"Gods, Gangsters and Honour" is a no-holds-barred, insider account of over 5 decades in the music industry.   It is a story about oversized egos, multi-million payoffs, scandalous behaviour, and the realities behind the images the rock gods like to portray.   Written by a man who tells the truth without fear to his reputation."

In this book are 2 very interesting chapters about Leonard Cohen, which is a must read for every fan.  I guarantee that you will look at the music industry in a different light, after you have read this book.

For the serious Leonard Cohen fan, this is a must read.   Steve Machat, one of the names behind the dvd Bird on the Wire, reveals all in an insider account of over 5 decades in the music industry.  It is a story about oversized egos, multi-million dollar payoffs, and the realities behind the images the rock gods like to portray.

Inside this book, is a lengthy chapter about our hero, Leonard Cohen.  Steve gives all the answers to many questions including:

1.  Why was Leonard scared of lawsuits and courtrooms.
2.  How Steven Machat warned Leonard about his association with Kelley Lynch.   Also, why has Leonard refused to prosecute Kelley Lynch.
3.   Is Leonard a Buddhist or Jewish?
4.   Why does Leonard refuse to pay to Machat and Machat what he owes, following the sale of Stranger Music?
5.   What happened to the woman, the song Suzanne was about?
6.   The relationship between Leonard's manager and Leonard's girlfriend, Anjani.

With the aid of rare and classic performance footage of both Cohen and those he has been influenced by most, plus exclusive interviews with Judy Collins; his biographer Ira Nadel; poet and Cohen academic Stephen Scobie; the man who guided Leonard through the rituals at the Mount Baldy Buddhist Monastery, Kigen; former Rolling Stone magazine editor Anthony De Curtis and many others, this fascinating and wholly unique film is unlike any document on this most extraordinary of composers yet to appear. The film also contains seldom seen photographs, archive footage of Cohen in interview and a host of other features.

EXTRAS; Include, Special Feature 'Cohen by Collins' – Judy Collins speaks about her love for the music of Leonard Cohen; plus Contributor Biographies and Beyond DVD section.

"I had to go crazy to love you
I had to go down to the pit
Had to do time in the Tower
Now I'm too tired to quit..."

"How come you called me here tonight?
How come you bother
With my heart at all?
You raise me up in grace,
Then you put me in a place,
Where I must fall."

"You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind;
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound."

Absolutely stunning photo, professionally produced.   Very sharp and suitable for framing.   Take it to the next concert and get it signed.

If your life is burning well,
Poetry is just the ash."
