Today, mostly I have been interviewing Leonard Cohen through the medium of dance. Laughing Len is some dancer.

Nada como cantar y escuchar a Leonard Cohen mientras se trozan pedazos de chocolate semiamargo, manchar las manos de cacao y esperar la cena
Nothing like singing along to Leonard Cohen while chopping pieces of semisweet chocolate, staining your hands with cocoa and waiting for supper.

Leonard Cohen must be one of the few songwriters from the 60s to never lose relevance. Mostly cause he's comfortable about being an old dude

And from the Dept. of "For of all sad words of tongue or pen,; The saddest are these: "It might have been!" comes the following tweet:

Hanging around Pula today... apparently Leonard Cohen was in town last night, may have missed an opportunity there

What an exceptional, elegant man! ~ Leonard Cohen & U2 : Tower Of Song

I don't think Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave should be allowed to be on the same plane together.

My 3yo: No deal.

Leonard Cohen abandoning the guitar for a two octave casio keyboard in the early 80s was quite a punk thing to do.

But then again, have never forgiven Cowell for turning Leonard Cohen into a power ballad, #jurysout

Somebody buy me hideously expensive Leonard Cohen tickets or I will die.

sorry for tooting my own horn here, but I was thrilled this morning to see that somebody at Felipe Conde (the luthier that made Leonard Cohen's Spanish guitars) retweeted my translation of an article about the shop which Dr. Showalter kindly posted on his site

Trying to see if very short posts will post...

Odd enough waking up with Leonard Cohen songs in one's head, but waking up with LC's songs in Swedish is a disorienting start to the day

That voice of Leonard Cohen's that expresses "No, I don't know how to reach sharps, and I barely know how to sing, but I'll break your soul with my tune..." it kills.

Waking up with "The Darkness" [Leonard Cohen] also counts as early-morning rising.

It's a Leonard Cohen sort of day. Ok, every day is a Leonard Cohen day. But not the point.

Any place Leonard Cohen is playing on the jukebox is where I want to be.

The guy wearing a Leonard Cohen t-shirt is the best dressed at pride this year. #jealous

Goin to bed with leonard Cohen night all xx

Every time Leonard Cohen comes up on my iTunes, I automatically imagine myself in a smoke filled bar with a single malt in my glass.

Clip of Leonard Cohen saying he's spent 10,000 nights alone. 14YO: "That's only about 30 years. Keep your head up, buddy."

From a fellow writer (in a different genre):

Guy Gavriel Kay ‏@guygavrielkay 40m
Someone mentioned Leonard Cohen here. His riff on Cavafy, 'Alexandra Leaving' is stunning. But read the poem too: 'The God Abandons Antony'.

First heard 'Suzanne' by Leonard Cohen on late night radio in a rainstorm coming home from the airport. Enrapturing:

"Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long-stem rose." Well, actually, Leonard Cohen, I'd rather have a carton of eggs and an orchid.

Leonard Cohen's "Diamonds in the Mine" is such an awesome song... always puts me in a good mood.

So #leonardcohen originally wrote 80 verses for 'Hallelujah'? Truism: all #writing is in the rewriting.

Making one's way across midtown past midnight on Monday with Leonard Cohen playing in one ear is on par with blueberries-coffee&visual-art.

Sending our TakeOut customers off with the dulcet sounds of Leonard Cohen "Come Healing" ....

Good call DJ !!!

and then if someone does a runner you can play the Jazz police...Leonard Cohen a song for every occasion

Ridiculous moment when you're listening to #LeonardCohen, feeling all nice and deep, and your ipod plays #ImSexyandIKnowIt next. #WHY!

Spotify is making me crazy. Since I listened to Leonard Cohen, it's recommending Jethro Tull for me. Which I like a lot. But what do they have to do with each other?

Leonard Cohen tickets are mine. See you in November, you crazy kid with a dream.

Listen to more Leonard Cohen, look at more rivers, have more memories--these are activities the mind will naturally tend toward

I know nine Leonard Cohen songs on my guitar. Don't invite me to your party. Nine.

Nine Leonard Cohen songs is better than two Bob Marley songs at a party.

In my opinion, nine #leonardcohen songs should get you invited anywhere.

"and sheee's buying a stairway...
To leonarrrrrrrd...."

I've said it before & it bears repeating: Leonard Cohen's songs are the most complex, yet unassuming, lyrical works I have ever encountered.

Leonard Cohen is like this musical genius that nobody knows about now because all they listen to is shitty rap music. Pyd, people.

got in the car and my Leonard Cohen cd made me cry....

Lost in complete isolation with my record player in a Leonard Cohen haze. Running out of substances. Food is gone whiskey's runnin dry.

Especially if you're a bit tipsy. Drown in the sweet sorrow.

could we, as a species, stop using Leonard Cohen songs to score sex scenes.

I've come to the conclusion that a young Leonard Cohen looks like Snape...

So I just found out that my grandfather tutored Leonard Cohen.

Faced with this disaster I drink something "on the rocks" and listen for the millionth time to Leonard Cohen in "a thousand kisses deep!"

Joan of Arc by Leonard Cohen is probably the best feminist anthem ever. Joan makes fire itself fall in awe of her. Glory in her eye.

I was 3 when this song came out. Does that make it old? Or me young? Fuck it. I love it. #whitegirlsolutions #perfect #Imyourman

Now to make a great evening a bit less exuberant and a little more real by listening to Leonard Cohen.
