Messalina79 just uploaded a wonderful 1980 interview with LC. I can't find it posted here or anywhere else yet.
If it has been already posted, I apologize,

Cohen interviewed about touring and his work by German radio 1980. I have somewhat crudely edited out the questions and songs played in the interview, except where relevant.

I was struck by Leonard mentioning a "need for a sense of order......and discipline"......and yet he sees his heart open unexpectedly . Yes, it must have been a challenge, even painful, to seek structure, but enjoy randomness.

Just a thought.
