Induction of Leonard Cohen

[fumetti]

He sings worst than Dylan and Tom Waites combined.

Se le hace justicia: Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Letras, October 2011.

[jamielees62]

The coolest guy EVER!

[nachomao]

He spoke the TRUTH and no one listens; Judgement is coming and, even though everything went wrong, Mr. Cohen can only say Halleluya!

They are taking us to the Tower down the track???

Thank you for softly giving us truth and love from yout Heart of Gold.

[kingreich22]

John Mellencamp is not clapping....why??

[MrPerezCosta]

@kingreich22 what an asshole right ??

leonard is a true legend.

[MaxMackan]

God damm, why am I weeping? Oh it's the lyrics...I almost forgot. I love this man.

[QuidditchWiz]

A man ahead of his time.

[XuZhongRui]

« even though he was built to see the world this way, he was also built to disregard, to be free of the way he was built to see the world »

[tafxkz]

his songs spoke him to the award and beyond

[TheWestWind17]

was that lou reed at the beginning?

[manosblim]

thank you Leonard !

[ywuntendrolma]

a master of his craft. in every sense.

[fourfingershuffel]

I think we can indulge him, he's earned it. Cohen and Dylan are heaven sent.

[moonmatter]

Very indulgent speech-what a shame

[pfmo5678ramone]

there is nothing like hearing leonard cohen w/ a french girl in montreal. its about time.

[bhz44]

Man, he rocks.

[moonmatter]

you must be a poet too.

[Drewtazy]

What a beautiful talented man!

[Robopencil]

This is unrelated, but he looked a lot like Anthony Bourdain in some of the younger photos.

[cmsingerbill]

Leonard Cohen ,is awesome !

[TheMrmi22]

Well it took them only 30 years...!

[TheMrmi22]

Is it a bird ?Is it a plane?...No! It is BONO!

[frankantoniomartin]

The acceptance speech by which I will compare all future acceptance speeches.

[ZLUGGO]

Well deserved award.

Mr Cohen rules.

[Enjazzed]

The version by Pain of Salvation rocks!

[wovokanarchy]

Do you honestly think that wanker Damion Rice would have ever heard of Leonard Cohen if Buckely hadn't of covered Cohen? I doubt it.

[karlval]

what the fuck is bono doing in there.

[zrglpf]

How cruelly ironic his text in the "tower of song" full of loud screams... Take a bow!

[13scottyb13]

[rudenoodle]

When I get old I hope to be half as cool as this man, which in fact would make me forty times as hip as I am now. :P

[weepingboy]

"My friends are gone and my hair is gray and I ache in the places where I used to play"......I really love this guy. Leonard Cohen is a class act

[charlajoy1]

"we are so blessed to be alive at the same time as Leonard Cohen." Thank God for Leonard, always.

[pleximold]

"There are no dirty words, ever" - L Cohen

[dropdeadwolfi]

yes, he was born like this he had no choice, leonard cohen was born with the gift of a golden voice

[EuchridEucrow1]

Right and there's Bono at 2:51, just in case anyone was thinking about anything other than U2 for five seconds.

[TemplarOfNight]

EuchridEucrow1... nobody gives a shit about Bono or U2.

[plasterofparisify]

I think that was the point of his comment.

[lennycohenfan]

Who would've ever believed it.... There ain't no cure for love.

[SongFrenchie]

There ain't no cure for love really. I agree.

[die2no]

lou reed takes it in the ass .

[die2no]

what's rock about this lame motherfucker?

[sofaguard]

die2no...... you are a cunt. go die u twat

[weezilgirl]

Hallejuah!

[Huckxxx]

hey damien, thanks for ruining this

[karessong]

i appreciate Mr. Cohen's music so much more as i mature. He is a genius in the world of song that i have been sent to experience myself.. i am glad to see the masters work.

[jamesputnamabbott]

Thanks so much for posting this. It's odd but wonderful to think of Cohen in the R&R HOF.

[abouquetofblackroses]

Did I see John Deacon of Queen in the background? I thought I saw him when I watched the entire thing on TV.

[Prost1988]

Lou Reed seems to be tired !

[danieljq2]
