Leonard Cohen Interview, March 1985 (Part 1)

An interview with Leonard Cohen from a bootleg concert CD I have. The concert is listed as happening March 22, 1985 in Warsaw, Poland. I assume the interview happened on or around that date as well.

This was an interested period for Leonard Cohen. Although he had plenty of fans, he had no label support. He talks about that in his interview. He also has interesting things to say about Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Phil Spector and more.

My favorite quote (from Part 3):

Interviewer: "Is Phil Spector as crazy as everybody says he is?"

Cohen: "Yes, he's alot crazier than people say he is."

Fascinating. The interviewer gave Cohen plenty time and space to talk, and asked intelligent questions.
