It's hard not to feel good when you hear Leonard Cohen

What a wonderful handsome, calm and respectable man, may he rest in peace

how can you not love this man

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.

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.

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...

He was just the perfect tonic for this crazy world, Shalom Lenny!!

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.

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.

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.

Cohen is so chilled . The man called the thumb game dumb and Cohen brushed it off for the sake of peace.

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 an inviting title for a video.

Ohhh there are very strong currents below the calm surface…

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 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.

Very moving.🐦Phil and Lenny.

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.

He is so humble! it is beautiful!

I'll agree, but nobody is perfect. He had his faults as we all do.... A main reason I love him so much. ❤

That man sure knew how to live.

This is tremendous. I've never heard Leonard in such informal, colloquial circumstances.

This never gets old.❤

Ain't he got the greatest smile,i could listen to him for hours,the business

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

If I could hear my own writings read out by Leonard Cohen, I actually might like them.

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.
