Well done! I must subscribe!! I even learned a lot, and I have been a Cohen follower for decades. I'd give anything to spend a couple of hours playing music with Leonard, it's the No.1 dream for myself personally -- although my dream for everybody is for this world to be as wonderful as Leonard's music! That to me would be true harmony.
I understand your point and. in fact, used "montage" in a similar effort, "Anjani Birthday Montage." In this case, however, I used "pastiche" intentionally. It's a bit of an inside joke - my blog's description is "A pastiche of posts, featuring song, dance, snappy chatter plus notes on prose, poesy, love, lust, life, and beyond.
I found you 40 years ago, as a melancholy sixteen-yr-old, and have loved your songs ever since. I never understood why they were considered so depressing - I felt uplifted and incredibly warmed to know I wasn't alone! And they made me laugh sometimes! I agree about your good looks; at 75 you are still one beautiful man. 'We are ugly but we have the music;' great line but I couldn't agree... Happy birthday dear man, and may you enjoy friends and family for many more to come.
Wonderful celebration and pictures. The first time I heard LC was 1969 and from that day he is my absolute favorite. I have been on 3 concert with him and the last in okt. 2008 in Stockholm and he made a magic concert. A life memory. He is brilliant poet, singer and person. We have all something to learn from him. ..his kindness and his humility. Thanks!
IM 50 In a couple of weeks and loved him since I was his neighbour once long ago.... Leonard- one of the biggest influences in my life in many ways. 75years young and eternally beautiful.thank you for this lovely video people x
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEONARD! I have so enjoyed this, my 61st year, re-discovering your music, poems and novels, since meeting you at the Weybridge hotel.Not quite the Chelsea Hotel, but there you go! Heartfelt thanks for the expansion of thought we experience through your writing and your music. Enrichment for our souls.
Thank you for this wonderful celebration of Leonard's birthday. I love it - as I love the man. I'm 65 and he's been my all time favourite. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEONARD and wishing you many, many more to delight your fans with your beautiful music, your endearing style, your unchallengeable golden voice, your French/Canadian charm, your exceptional good looks, etc. etc. etc.

Nice video, thanks. I think you mean to call it a montage, not a pastiche.
