    I discovered Leonard in 1989 when he popped up on Austin City Limits. I was hooked then and there. I read Beautiful Losers and was greatly impressed. I got see him in 1993 and by chance walked with him to his tour bus

    I always thank Jennifer Warnes for making her wonderful album of Leonard’s songs “Famous Blue Raincoat”. She brought Leonard’s songs to generation x and opened the door for us all to walk through to Leonard himself.
    I saw him on his comeback tour in Stockholm, incredible.

    I had this beautiful book of Leonard's poetry from the 70's and I left it on a Tokyo subway. Broke my heart....

      I'm new to Mr. Cohen. Discovered him sadly, right after he'd passed away. But he is like a drug to me...Or maybe a medicine? At any rate Can't Believe what I've been Missing!! Massive respect and awe for this lovely, lovely man! And the more I hear him, and learn of him, the greater the Absolute Awe!! Rest in Peace and Love, Mr. Cohen. And ....Thank You.

    I got into Leonard in 1990 when I was14 after seeing Pump up the volume, I got into Ian and the Bunnymen in late 93 and been a dedicated fan since. I would'nt worry about praise for Mac yet, he hasn't been making music for near 50 years. And you also have to take into account how many people Mac shredded in the press over the years, he may have been 'joking' but he definately burned a lot of bridges. He'll always have us diehard fans who allways want better for him,but it's really up to him

    I really do not get this 'godfather of gloom' & "Morose Lyrics' bit-most of Leonard Cohen's lyrics are about beautiful women, contemplation of life, Sex, Beauty, his poetic sensibility is rare in these Barbarous times. It seems to me people who have NO poetic understanding, or subtlety at all say these things-it is profoundly irritating.

      You don’t have to be a poet to understand LC’s songs. Everyone who has gone through things like him understands. What one does not experience, one cannot even understand. But even if someone doesn’t understand exactly what their songs are about, everyone can sense it because it’s about the difficulties of life. This is what everyone experiences one way or another in their lives.

      The BBC has descended into cheap gimmicks, fallen from the worldwide mantle of Greatness it owned. And if anything, it's respect has descended further since this.

    I listened to ian McCulloch in "Lover lover lover", he is certainly good but the voice of the young Leonard was more velvety and there was a greater sensitivity. (maybe because he wrote it?)

    “Hell, I could do that!” Said everyone after listening to him read his poetry, or him sing a song. And that should tell you just what a genius he is. Only the best, most talented, dedicated, deliberate, did I say talented, author, singer, writer, athlete, owner, manager can elicit that kind of response after people watch or hear them. They make it look so easy, and natural that of course anybody could do this. Now, first they try, then they cry, give it up and try to find something else that’s easier to do with their life.

    Another terrible, trivilialising, cliched documentary from the BBC. How the mighty are fallen. There is so much self deprecating humour in Cohen. Calling him a doom monger is just idiotic.
