One year around New Years, while heading up to the top of the Hilton for drinks with friends, I found myself in the elevator with a very familiar looking American woman. It was one of those moments when you know that you know someone, but just can’t place it. It wasn’t until later that evening, leaving the Hilton, I saw the poster announcing their New Year’s Gala, featuring Gloria “I will survive” Gaynor … suddenly I made the connection. And THAT’S what happens to old rockers – they go to Greece!

Leonard Cohen lived in Greece (Hydra) as a very young rocker. So perhaps this is something of a home-coming for him.
