For Underclick.ro is an honor to contribute at the website (you can see it it in 1 week).
For me is a great opportunity to see a singer that make me good through his music.
Leonard Norman Cohen, CC (born September 21, 1934 in Westmount, Quebec) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet and novelist. Cohen published his first book of poetry in Montreal in 1956 and his first novel in 1963.Cohen’s earliest songs (many of which appeared on the 1968 album Songs of Leonard Cohen) were rooted in European folk music melodies and instrumentation, sung in a high baritone. The 1970s were a musically restless period in which his influences broadened to encompass pop, cabaret, and world music. Since the 1980s he has typically sung in lower registers (bass baritone, sometimes bass), with accompaniment from electronic synthesizers and female backing singers.
His work often explores the themes of religion, isolation, sexuality, and complex interpersonal relationships.
Cohen’s songs and poetry have influenced many other singer-songwriters, and more than a thousand renditions of his work have been recorded. He has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and is also a Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation’s highest civilian honour. Cohen was inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a speech by Lou Reed on March 10, 2008 for his status among the “highest and most influential echelon of songwriters”.

The hackers study: This correlates with the number of Romanian hackers:) If there is no trust in public institutions in Romania, it follows that there is no trust in online services. It would be interesting though to do a sociological study on it.
No connection at all – I like your picture ( I ran into your pic by mistake, looking for something else and there’s something about your eyes that made me stop here for more than a sec). I love Leonard Cohen too-I wish I was in Ro to listen to him.
