If the elderly can pay, they should pay

TONIGHT, a 77-year-old man will take to the stage in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham and receive a rapturous reception.

He will then perform a three hour concert of his songs mined from the last fifty years.

If Leonard Cohen’s past shows are anything to go by, a considerable number of those in attendance will proclaim it one of the best concerts they have ever attended. Tonight’s gig will be the fourth he has given at the venue over the last five days. He has gallons of petrol in the tank.
