Exclusive Story – The 2010 World Tour Will Be A Thousand Kisses & Three Dimensions Deep
The Heck Of A Guy investigative reporting team has discovered that each of the 2010 Leonard Cohen concerts will be performed in 3D.
Having witnessed the unprecedented popularity of 3D movies such as Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, Leonard Cohen’s organization has committed to the concept of immersing the audience in an interactive three-dimensional experience. As one interoffice memo put it, “It will be as if the audience is watching a live concert.”
It now appears that the three month delay in the onset of the concert schedule was not the result of Cohen’s back injury as claimed but was used to run focus groups to test the appeal of a 3D performance, try out competing 3D systems, and bring on a technical team to implement the new technology.

According to one of the consultants, who agreed to be interviewed on the condition of anonymity,
It’s the damndest thing. It turns out the World Tour concerts have always been performed in 3D. It’s just that Leonard is so thin that with the stage lighting, you couldn’t always tell he was in 3D. So, we’re putting him on an augmented diet and a regimen of daily workouts for a few weeks to bulk him up. Other than that, all we have to do is get his suits retailored, add some backlights onstage to create depth, and we’re golden.
While 3D glasses will not be essential for viewing the live concerts, an unverified rumor is circulating that Ticketmaster, which had acquired a huge stock of the specialized glasses in anticipation of the 3D-Cohen Concert Series, may require the purchase of the implements by ticket-buyers “for optimal viewing enhancement at a nominal service charge” as a condition for admission.
Call me dense, but isn’t he already in in 3d3d3d?
I can see Ticketmaster (think whip equipped dominatrix)will demand you give up every last dime younever had!
Iam blind in one eye and 3D glasses only blur everything. I must really protest and demand that Leonard tour in an older format type.
