I once heard that Bob Dylan said that Leonard Cohen was the only musician that intimidated him. The dictionary meaning of the word "intimidate" is not limited to meaning "scare" but in fact dictionary.com has this as one of its meanings, which I am sure Dylan would have meant from this definition:
"to overawe or cow, as through the force of personality or by superior display of wealth, talent, etc." I would assume Dylan meant: "To overcome by superior display of talent"
In other words, Dylan showed great respect for and admiration of Leonard Cohen.

I wonder, could this be true? I cannot find any verification of it.

I'd love to have it confirmed, too, Buzz of the Orient.
The way you worked out the most fitting definition works for how I see it, too.
