KW-53-2020: #Leonard_Cohen_and_Beethoven? – Yep, there is a story behind – Ja, auch dazu gibt es eine Geschichte: „Would Beethoven refuse the invitation of Mozart?“ – Leonard Cohen asked Phil Collins, when Cohen was working on the “Tower Of Song”-Tribute-Album in the year of 1995. Cohen said in an Interview : “I asked him, and he declined. And I wrote him saying, „Would Beethoven decline Mozart’s invitation?“ He wrote back a lovely fax, saying „No, but Beethoven must decline, because Beethoven is going on worldtour. It was a very charming fax he sent me, and completely legitimate.”
