In the break following the hearty repast of reverence and respect afforded Leonard Cohen consequent to the Lissadell House concerts and the resumption of performances tonight, Heck Of A Guy is offering a palate cleanser. As an equally valid albeit somewhat less dignified perspective on the singer-songwriter, today's post features a video montage of images of Leonard Cohen As Hunk (DrHGuy has been advised by usually reliable sources that many women consider Mr Cohen somewhat attractive). Rather than pairing Leonard Cohen with the spirit of Yeats, this video calls upon the services of Randy Newman and Etta James, the author and performer, respectively, of the musical background, "You Can Leave Your Hat On."

Brilliant! I just about fell over laughing at that wavy feature at the 3:00 mark. And yes that's right: not only is Leonard Cohen good looking, more importantly, he is smolderingly attractive. Hats off to you for a job well done.

Wonderful!!

DrHGuy - thanks ... this is exquisite. LC is more than "somewhat attractive" .... !!!!
LoL, a gal in polka dots xx

DrHGuy,

Thank you for a very funny video. I am sure all the 'ladies' will agree that L.C. is both handsome and multi-talented. That's why we love him.

<Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump, Kuh-thump............>

Well, DrH, I'd venture to say you have redefined the word "pornography" here, as that's the best "pornography" - even with hat AND clothes on - that I've ever seen or imagined!!

BRILLIANT, not to mention GORGEOUS video!!! Thank you. . .

Sexy toes! (0.50)

BUT WHAT IS WITH THOSE CUTOFF SHORTS?? EEEEEEK! (2:37)

Thanks for the smile, Dr. H!

Great job.

You have captured something unique...a new perspective on pictures we all know ( at least some of them) by the artful use of music. They come alive with a wonderfully playful touch. My sense is, having seen many of these pictures appealing to the sense of sight, it is awakening to add the sense of sound to this photo compilation. And would that such sight and sound visit us in many concerts to come. Halevi!

Of course, I am sure Sheila would agree that the "shorts" don't need much music!

Wonderful! Thanks for another awesome video!

1. Re the responses to the video,
As the man says, "You are very kind."

2. Re the photo of a young Leonard Cohen clad in cut-offs and t-shirt,
Because reverence-modulation vis-à-vis Leonard Cohen is, especially these days, an arduous and lonely task, one is grateful for the occasional faux pas our icon of choice has committed that has been preserved for posterity. The photo is from the December 8, 2009 edition of Süddeutsche Zeitung, which offers the caption (translated), “The ex-writer – Leonard Cohen, mutated into a musician and songwriter already, during a party in 1979.″ (Photo scanned and caption translated by Ann-Kristin Aschenbrenner) The full-size view of that photo is available at Leonard Cohen 1979 – Eye Candy Or Fashion Victim? - http://1heckofaguy.com/2009/12/09/leona ... on-victim/

OMG – he wore them to a party?

Thanks for the details Dr. H.!

I am right with your sentiments on this one Dr H, enough said.
Wow, what a treat, great song, great pictures - quite a few I have never seen before.
Glad to know that I wasn't the only one who was stunned by the sudden sight of LC in CUT OFF SHORTS, they aroused the perv in me that I hadn't known existed! Wish we could have seen a bit more of his legs.
I hope Leonard gets to see this one, I think he will just love it.
Luv

Alan - thank you. Just goes to prove that he is still 'hot stuff'.
