Thanks for posting. Only irritating bit is the idiots laughing, who clearly don't knowing what he's doing and have never heard those words before. He shuts them up though! Beautiful.

Many thanks for posting, Arlene. I'm looking for the video of his recent induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame too - don't see any posts yet though.

And the music is Leonard and the words are Cohen. Long may LC sing.

"In fact I was always was always touched by the modesty of their interest to my work" I love his humor.. but did not like much his voice, nor his mention of "as we make our way towards the finish lines.."

Long live Leonard!!

[saucierrr]

the guy at the end says it all. I am glad to have seen him live. oh what a night......

[bornbillsmith]

Didn't he make the same speech when he was

admitted into rock and roll hall of fame.

[JonathanStrayer]

Yes, reciting the tower of song, though the rock and roll one had slightly more prelude.

[FrankMahovlich]

And thank you, Leonard Cohen.
