In the late seventies, filmmaker Harry Rasky was on one wild trip! He soaked in a Jacuzzi at the Four Seasons with Leonard Cohen... he drank wine and talked about the meaning of life with Leonard and Irving Layton at Leonard's place in Montreal ... Harry and Leonard were mistaken for Bader-Meinhof terrorists by soldiers with machine guns while dining at a German Burger King... Harry was also part of the 1979 Field Commander Cohen tour ... but best of all, he got everything on film! From the footage of these adventures, Harry Rasky created the acclaimed 1981 documentary film The Song of Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen called Harry Rasky recently to express his appreciation and admiration for the film. Inspired by that conversation, Rasky has delved into his personal archives and diaries upon which the film is based and has woven them into this moving and powerful text -- "The Song of Leonard Cohen". This book also contains Harry Rasky's never before published Bob Dylan Diaries, based on his notes and observations during the filming of a documentary project that was never completed.
