Looking for early interview

Post by MLKAGAN »

A number of years ago I found an interview with Leonard from the 60s on
YouTube. I'm sure that it was on Canadian TV. The interviewer was a woman
with long blond hair and a very short dress. I remember that she asked him how he decided
which poems to turn into songs and which not. He answered that the lesser
poems became songs. I'm pretty sure that it's not the interview with Beryl
Fox because she doesn't show her legs. The one I'm looking for also
includes the question of whether Cohen had ever considered changing his
name, to which he also replied that he had thought of September, September
Cohen. This interviewer was much colder, more hostile than the one with Beryl. Any ideas?

Hi

I'm pretty sure it's either one of these:

- Take 30
Originally Broadcast May 23, 1966
Host: Adrienne Clarkson
26:15 minutes

- This Hour Has Seven Days
Originally Broadcast May 1, 1966
Host: Beryl Fox
9:30 minutes

Since you think it's not Beryl Fox, it must be Take 30: https://youtu.be/Yta36Ry8UFc

Can't listen to it right now, because I'm at work... :-(

Hi,
Yes it is Beryl Fox, where he says he wants to change his name to September Cohen and get a tattoo
