Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Just poking my nose in for a second…. I had the honour of seeing Mr Cohen on his last visit to Sweden, and the good fortune that my neighbour was working security, who ushered me to an empty first row seat.
Leonard, well into his 70’s played 1 and a half hours , a 30 minutes break, and then another 1 hour 30 minutes. Much longer than any other concert I have ever seen, and every second an absolute delight!
A truly unique singer and songwriter, and a very humble man… I remember an interview in a magazine where he cooked breakfast for, and later collected a few grapefruit from one of his trees for the interviewer to take home with her.
Sadly missed, although he lived the fullest of lives, and did what he loved until the very end. ( he apparently spent his very last days getting stoned and writing poetry with his son. I would not complain about such a road out of this world)
RIP Leonard….. And a great evening pause Alton.. thank you!
