This man will probably be dead soon (maybe even this year, considering the way it's gone so far) and the world will be worse off for it. Post your favourite Cohen songs and stories.
>One night Spector grabbed Cohen, a bottle of Manischewitz in one hand and a revolver in the other. Shoving the gun against his neck, he said, “Leonard, I love you.” Cohen slowly pushed the barrel away, replying, “I hope you do, Phil.”
What a guy.

I hope so!
Another anecdote
>Dylan and I were having coffee the day after his concert in Paris a few years ago and he was doing that song in concert. And he asked me how long it took to write Hallelujah. And I told him a couple of years. I lied actually. It was more than a couple of years ... Then I praised a song of his, "I and I," and asked him how long it had taken and he said, "Fifteen minutes." [Laughter]
This is a great interview. Really insightful.

>And Jesus was a sailor
>When he walked upon the water
>And he spent a long time watching
>From his lonely wooden tower
>And when he knew for certain
>Only drowning men could see him
>He said "All men will be sailors then
>Until the sea shall free them"

L. Cohen is who I aspire to grow up to be. Every stage of my life since I've discovered him, I've hoped to reflect him in some way. I love the guy.
Cohenbros, can anyone hit me up with a download to Ten New Songs? It's the only Cohen album I don't have.

It's true, I know.
The man in this video is 77 years old.

So when he goes does someone else inherit his talent? Because being able to write like Leonard Cohen sounds like a good power.

Who the fuck is Cohen here?
This is future Adam Sandler, OP.
