I am not a particular fan of Cohen’s music, but as far as humans go, I think he led a fascinating life. He was a poet, a novelist, a singer/songwriter … and he found success (and failure) multiple times at very different stages of his life.
I recently watched “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song” (2022), and would recommend it as a starting place to anyone who’s at least vaguely familiar with the titular song.

- nhatcher 3y agoI am a big fan of Cohen and I normally try to stay away from the personal life of my favourite artist. But this acceptance speech talks heaps of the kind of person he was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnx20BZquAo&ab_channel=cdgr0820 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnx20BZquAo&ab_channel=cdgr0... Measure that against Bob Dylan's show on the Nobel prize. Disclaimer: I am an even bigger Dylan's fan.
