  • Great interview.

    What a seeker this man is. It's rare to see someone be this honest about their doubts.

  • "Tower of Song" is so much better without U2. We don't need bono or any one else to try to "improve" it. Please don't!

  • Great man, great interview and thanks for uploading!

    However, the song "Hallelujah" is annoying enough as it is (an opinion i know Mr. Cohen shares with me), but hearing that barrage of covers of it made my ears bleed.

  • @kaarekjohnsen Thanks so much. I totally missed her name from the description.

  • No surprise that Bob Dylan used to cover Hallelujah years before the world accepted the greatness of that song. Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen are two giant artistes and greatest in their own rights.

  • Humble

  • I think he is genuinely the nicest man I've seen.

  • No one sings his songs better than L. Cohen himself.

  • @timeszero I agree with you, however one can yet understand the reason why someone would say that, I mean; he is a bit weird-looking isn't he? In his way though he does touch the soul of that song somehow. Fair due's to everyone I say. and Cohen is the Master,

  • @Batmanwaffledog Not a prayer to "god" but a prayer to music
