San Francisco in the Fall

Autumn is the best season of the year in San Francisco - golden sun, the sea breeze and maybe some fog at night.

It’s also the time when Litquake, the Bay Area literary festival, takes place. This year I’ll be sharing the stage with veteran - some might say legendary! - rock writers including Ben Fong-Torres, Greil Marcus and Michael Goldberg at an event called “The Only Truth Is Music: Readings From Music Writers.” It’s on the evening of October 21st. For more details please go to the Tour page on this website. I’ll bring some of the updated US editions of 'I’m Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen for anyone who’d like a signed copy.

The photo? That was me and Ben Fong-Torres (with my uke!) at a Bruce Springsteen tribute show a bunch of years back. If you want to know more about Ben, check out the new documentary about him,: “Like A Rolling Stone:”
