Absolute soul shining look into the cerebral and tactile disposition of f a true poet!!! Sad passing but what an incredible legacy!! incredible l@@vasymolo
He had so much humility, grace, and kindness. Not a judgemental bone in his body. He took care of his friends as equals. I... no WE, will truly miss this man.
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.
Please don't drink V8's. For the reason why, please look up Robert Lustig or John Yudkin. These factory produced high carb products are not healthy. Sorry if I popped your bubble. Always eat the whole fruit and Veg , don't juice them. No need to thank me , I just want people to see the truth.
Yes.... A lovely mensch....great resurrection on future cards - we'll see you again fine man... You're a treasured memory of mine... Your Jewish good looks always shone through into maturity too.... Thanks for memories of great songs...
I met him 1 time Southport UK wayyyy back. he walked alone to his tour bus & i offerd him a paper cup of wine , he kindly said thank you my friend . R.I.P. dear Leonard.
Such genuine, comfortable affection between them and I love how Leonard insisted on reading his poem right then and there... and how naturally well he did so. He's so affirming of everyone he meets... and, as we see here, knows. Loved his thumb wrestling account and his humour with regard to Kristoferson. Wonderful footage of Leonard in a friendship comfort zone. He's so at ease... as seemingly always. This is a treasure.
I am currently reading "Leonard Cohen, Untold stories: The early years". There is so much from the point of view of his friends, contacts etc that I wasn't aware of. A truly outstanding human being. I was lucky to see him once in concert because I live off the beaten path.
I live near a large park and each day as I stroll I think of Leonard and of how he could relate to all, his charm and of how he gave money to those in need. I think of him every day- and no offense to Kris but I'd choose Leonard every time. Montreal is an amazing city anybody who hasn't been there...Namaste from Ontario
Oh I love it. Leonard Cohen is so wonderful, so amazing. I love him so much and I hope I can see him in my life in reality. I wish him a wonderful and long life and send him many many greetings from Germany.
My ex, in the late 1960s, used to encounter and talk with Leonard in some park in lower Westmount. A few times they went together from there to Schwatrz's for lunch. She told me, and I believed her, that Leonard wasn't her type. She just liked discussing literature with him.
I always thought he was very good looking, as a man looking at a man, but my ex was a little weird. She had to be to fall in love with an impoverished used bookstore owner who, frankly, in his own opinion, didn't have much going on in the way of looks. But Leonard has left us, and for the past couple of days I've been crying off an on, bittersweet tears that have more to do with joy than sadness. I started reading his poetry about 1965. I've been listening to his songs for almost 50 years. He has enriched my life more than anyone else I can think of.
We love you Leonard and wait for your next words. We are getting older at the same pace experiencing the same stuff right behind you. We admire the grace with which you handle aging. Leonard, My Love!
I live 10 min away from the Portuguese Plaza. Why did I not pass by that day...? Or so many days that he must have been sitting on that bench in front of his Montreal house on St Laurent St...
That guy was a beautiful poet. Im surprised he wrote that! Just wonderful real words. Thanks for posting this. Ive come back to watch this several times. :) Love Leonard.
RIP Leonard
if only more people were like Leonard Cohen.The human race might have a chance.

No, expanding to other celestial bodies and star systems is necessary.
A brilliant mensch.

It's hard not to feel good when you hear Leonard Cohen
I’m listening to this sitting at the exact bench where they sat. So surreal, I can still feel him here.
Leonard Cohen, he's a Mensch of the very highest calibre. A singular writer of poetry, a musician of rare quality.
and a lover of all people he ever met. No shame or pride in his bones. dearly missed.
I could watch this like about 10 times a year, easy
What a wonderful handsome, calm and respectable man, may he rest in peace
He had so much humility, grace, and kindness. Not a judgemental bone in his body. He took care of his friends as equals. I... no WE, will truly miss this man.
how can you not love this man
He could read the phone book and it would sound like poetry.
bHahaha, so true !
This is pure truth.
the bum could write though

Le clochard est un poète ! Phil tétrault (ua-cam.com/video/jnZfN0GoC6k/v-deo.html). Deux clochards célestes (Kérouac) !
We need millions of him
In our world
Would be heaven ❤
Thank god we have his beautiful poetry and songs
He was the prophet messenger for 21 century
❤
He was just the perfect tonic for this crazy world, Shalom Lenny!!
Shalom.....
I chuckled my way through this...2 lads on a bench sharing crisps and drink.How relaxed and gentle the relationship between these two poets...
This never gets old.❤

ER IST SO HERRLI CH MENSCHLICH. DANKE FUER DIESE MOMENTE MIT IHM.
What a great interview. I fall in love with that man again and again.
I've been a v8 addict since i first watched this. Such a fanboy. I am inconsolable at his passing.

Bout time for another view, yeah?
There has never been a man looking more intellectual than Leonard Cohen! ;-)
And never has anyone recited better! =)
sweet Leonard
I am currently reading "Leonard Cohen, Untold stories: The early years". There is so much from the point of view of his friends, contacts etc that I wasn't aware of. A truly outstanding human being. I was lucky to see him once in concert because I live off the beaten path.
This is my favourite video. This is life.
What a great couple of guys. Cohen reads that poem and instantly it could be one of his own.
How can you not love this guy?
Such a Loss Our Beloved Poet Mystic Gypsy Traveler has moved on now.. Thank You for all the beauty you have left us
Leonard Cohen was no gypsy
@@Guratza I think he/she was referring to the song.
The world has lost a treasure. A class act would be an understatement. Rest in peace mon cher ami.
I live near a large park and each day as I stroll I think of Leonard and of how he could relate to all, his charm and of how he gave money to those in need. I think of him every day- and no offense to Kris but I'd choose Leonard every time. Montreal is an amazing city anybody who hasn't been there...Namaste from Ontario
RIP, Mr. Cohen, great poet and nice guy.
Such a wise intelligent man scholar ❤
Love his poetry songs
Hidden gem
God bless him
Xxx
My scholar ❤

The beautiful person with another beautiful person ❤️
💓💗💟
Leonard...a real Mensch!!! Lovely!
Very moving.🐦Phil and Lenny.
Cohen is so chilled . The man called the thumb game dumb and Cohen brushed it off for the sake of peace.
Such an inviting title for a video.
...YES ...
It's always good to hear the great man speak, now he can only express himself in the celestial realms R.I.P
I wish there were episodes upon episodes of a show like this.
This is tremendous. I've never heard Leonard in such informal, colloquial circumstances.
my favorite poet, my favorite gem, my favorite drink, cannot have enough of them. ;)
Leonard was such a Good Man....
I'll agree, but nobody is perfect. He had his faults as we all do.... A main reason I love him so much. ❤
RIP, Leonard. You will always be loved & missed by the world. Be seeing you soon. Love
Leonard love people in such a personalized way!

Great post, Thank you.. Great guy. Great Performer.
Brilliant
Go easy on the tomato juice. What an awesome little moment

Yeah sure, I guess Leonard Cohen is no woman´s type.
How could he NOT be any woman's type. He stayed gorgeous until the end. RIP
I always thought he was very good looking, as a man looking at a man, but my ex was a little weird. She had to be to fall in love with an impoverished used bookstore owner who, frankly, in his own opinion, didn't have much going on in the way of looks.

We love you Leonard and wait for your next words. We are getting older at the same pace experiencing the same stuff right behind you. We admire the grace with which you handle aging. Leonard, My Love!
I love more and more Leonard Cohen each day.
Thanks for the video.
