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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    5*** but you deserve 10 !!

  • some great footage there.....thank you

  • Happy birthday and many many more to the Lord of Song!

  • Wow! I really appreciate this video! Some of the pictures paint a million words. The kitchen in Montreal...

    Leonard - happy birthday and please have many many more! ~Deborah

    "Its been a long time since I stood on this stage in London.

    It was about 14 or 15 years ago.

    I was 60 years old - JUST A KID WITH A CRAZY DREAM!" Cohen, 2009

  • 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.

  • Wszystkiego najlepszego - you are the legend and your voice resonates with the crevices of the soul, Agnieszka

  • Happy Birthday, and many more.

  • Happy birthday Leonard. May you be with us for the next 75 years at least, or better even, forever !!!!
