Haha Cohen is cool and temperate because he doesn't need the acknowledgment from everyone else. Thanks for sharing though, your uncle is a good writer.

You know, that's why I love Montreal. Those ARRET tables. Not even the fuckedest up frenchman takes himself as seriously in his french-sovinism as a canadian. That's almost Europe man, that's Europe. Footsteps of a dying superior culture.

So he lives in Montreal and he says "tonnerre" with such a heavy English accent? No way...

such a delicious video, imagine you're walking in some crappy area of Montreal and all of a sudden you see Leonard Cohen sitting an a park bench shmoozing with a bum who he's known for many years. I would go and sit at his feet and listen and soak up all that is Leonard for hours upon hours.
