Here's a video - sort of - from the red carpet - no Leonard Cohen in it though.

Not going to happen.

I called The Loft and left a message asking if there would be an interview with Leonard Cohen. Mike Malone, the program director just called me back and said that the press release from the SHOF was very misleading - that they will be playing his music but he will not be interviewed. He said he would LOVE to have Leonard Cohen - that he has been trying for 7 years. They have had Adam on - but not Leonard.

We all know how busy LC must be getting ready for this upcoming leg of the tour and the eventual release of a new CD, so it is quite understandable that there will be no interview. That Mike Malone has been trying for 7 years to get an LC interview is phenomenal. Mike must be a huge fan to keep trying for so long. Hope his persistance eventually gets results. Thanks for following up on this Linda!

Warmest regards,
Mary

These pictures rock my world!!!! First of all, he looks fanstastic.

But the best part for me: My daughter started out loving LC and is now anti-LC because he's "old". She has turned into a Miley Cyrus/Disney pop fan much to my chagrin. But her favorite is Taylor Swift (who at least writes her own songs) and I will RELISH showing her these pictures of Swift obviously enchanted with our man... And I think he liked her too...that's quite a firm hand he's got on her waist.

Perhaps Artisan News Service will capture some LC video. They seem to have good access. Last year, they posted a few SHOF clips on Youtube shortly after the event.
