Leonard Cohen es tremendo late bloomer.
Leonard Cohen is a tremendous late bloomer.

indepth conversation: why Leonard Cohen looks so much better than Al Pacino at their advanced age; when they were equally handsome in youth.

Saw Lou Reed at recent Leonard Cohen concert and he looked like death. Now see he just got liver transplant. Get well, Lou!

Leonard Cohen es chido. Todos los Cohen que conozco son chidos. Qué chido.
Leonard Cohen is cool. All the Cohens I know are cool. How cool.

Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah is both song and Scripture; also, pretty freaking awesome.

[MaryB]

WOW!! What a great photo of LC with Devo. Thank you Helen!

[HelenOE]

Just arrived at islington assembly halls - Leonard Cohen being used to test the bass cabs - genius! @ultrasound

Fathers' Day seems like an excellent excuse for more Leonard Cohen tickets. Wonder what he'll make of Leeds?! @LeonardOnTour

Cuando Leonard Cohen nos dijo: "Your private life will suddenly explode", creo que se refería a Facebook.
When Leonard Cohen told us: "Your private life will suddenly explode", I think he was referring to Facebook.

[Lou Reed] is one of the few I feel like I would just lose my shit in front of. I ran into Leonard Cohen one time, I just giggled madly.

Esta noche, fiestón. He quedado con Leonard Cohen y Eduard Punset, y preveo alcohol, drogas y mujeres. Fiestón.
Tonight, big party. I've settled on Leonard Cohen and Eduard Punset, and I foresee alcohol, drugs and women. Big party.

Too bad Leonard Cohen didn't make a video re-enacting the door blowing open scene from Risky Buisness when he was with Rebecca de Mornay.

Hubby found a hardcover, first edition Leonard Cohen book for 20 cents at a yard sale today. Worth over $300+ Score.

It´s a Hallelujah sort of afternoon over on Twitter, as it so often is.

If you replace hallelujah with 'ave a banana' it really brightens up that old Leonard Cohen song.

(ed. note: yes, if you don't care about scansion)

Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is easily one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm always coming back to it.

Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah is one of the best songs ever. Listen to it a million times. Get million different meanings

And taking a wider perspective than that one song:

Leonard Cohen's voice is so sultry

Eating Alphonso Mangos and listening to Leonard Cohen. Chilled end to a rather pathetic day

Young Leonard Cohen is my hero. Then again, so is Old Leonard Cohen and Middle-Aged Leonard Cohen.

[HelenOE]

Happily splurging my birthday iTunes credit. Nick Cave, The Dead Weather, Leonard Cohen. What could be better?

Got tickets for O2; booked hotel - now Leonard Cohen says he's coming to the BIC on 26 August! Oy vey! #ihavetriedinmywaytobefree

Listening through the Leonard Cohen back catalogue. What a fucking genius. He combines darkness and desire better than anyone.

Listening to Leonard Cohen in the graveyard.

i'm having tea and oranges like that leonard cohen song am i cool yet

Listening to Leonard Cohen, as the chickens bustle about by my feet, while eating BBQ lamb chops. #Thisisthelife

GUESS WHO'S GOING TO SEE LEONARD COHEN AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER GUESS WHO GUESS WHO GUESS WHO

Having Leonard Cohen stuck in your head isn't easy-going as yah just can't sing him outta your head, his voice is just too dreamy for that!

i love all the english major dudebros who think they're being cute by quoting leonard cohen like srry pls try again

Leonard Cohen gracias por los cantos que nos hacen subir al cielo aunque nos creamos en el infierno
Leonard Cohen thanks for the songs that raise us up to heaven even though we believe we're in hell

[HelenOE]

Not a lot of quotes tonight, there's a raft of Twitter bots taking up space.

Love Sunday walks with Leonard Cohen keeping me company. Can't count the amount of great tunes he's written

Bob Dylan said that he'll write anything that rhymes. Love the guy. I personally think Leonard Cohen is a better song writer.

Si Canto Bad Things de Leonard Cohen gritando estoy mal de la cabeza?
If I Sing Bad Things by Leonard Cohen screaming, am I not right in the head?

(does Leonard Cohen have a song called "Bad Things" or does this sound like a more generic reference to transgressive lyrics?)

French press coffee, Leonard Cohen, and sorting my vast collection of lacey underwear... #fancybitch #exquisite

strong coffee and lacy underwear... pretty sure Leonard would be happy to find his songs in such company.

[HelenOE]

Instead of Pub Crawl II, I'll be going to see a 78 year old legend. Fully expect Leonard Cohen to be the greatest night ever.

Leonard Cohen just came on *shoves head in the dirt and weeps*

Leonard Cohen, goddamn man, goddamn.

Has escuchado algo mejor que Leonard Cohen mientras ves la lluvia por la ventana?
Have you heard anything better than Leonard Cohen while watching the rain through the window?

If you ever wanna feel like your life is a shitty independent film, listen to Leonard Cohen while drinking black coffee.

Leonard Cohen is playing in Leeds exactly the same date as the conference we're organizing....we should probably cancel it

[HelenOE]

Happy birthday to the only person I've met who likes Leonard Cohen, therefore the coolest person I've met

It depends on the artist. I paid over $100 to see Leonard Cohen and I regret nothing. But he is Leonard Cohen.

I think the fact that there's a Leonard Cohen song in this movie during the sex scene is what totally wins me over

A comment on goodreads declares that Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers would've never been published if it didn't have naughty bits

Leonard Cohen me hace querer otro mundo.
Leonard Cohen makes me want another world.

My god, that voice. Still all smoky honey. #LeonardCohen

[HelenOE]

Loving you is like trying to sing along with Leonard Cohen.

As in, "it's difficult because you're so deep?"

You can never blast any Leonard Cohen it just doesn't feel right.

Did my fanly duty and suggested the tweeter try blasting Closing Time, First We Take Manhattan or The Future. I think any of those will work well.

It's a race against time to get from this party to the grocery store to my house in time for "Leonard Cohen Live" on PBS. #nerdproblems

Leonard Cohen, Lhasa de Sela y The Smiths son los depresivos no químicos más bonitos del mundo.
Leonard Cohen, Lhasa de Sela and The Smiths are the most beautiful non-chemical depressants in the world.

First row tickets to see Leonard Cohen #BestFuneralEver

Not quite sure who the "guest of honor" at this best-ever event is supposed to be. Thinking the tweeter may be going to have a more exciting evening than he currently anticipates.

[HelenOE]

#LeonardCohen is a living legend. Thank you, #OPB, for showing this concert. Exactly what I needed tonight.

God damn Leonard Cohen is a cool mother fucker.

Leonard Cohen and too many pillows. Perfection.

Karaoke tonight at Charlie's Kitchen. To be fair, I only do Cake and Leonard Cohen songs.

when I woke up to my mom pulled over 30 mph over speed limit and telling the cop it was bc she was listening to Leonard Cohen

oh god leonard cohen youre sending me into an alcohol induced psychosis

Mi perro está aullando al ritmo de "Hallelujah" de Leonard Cohen. Estoy orgullosa.
My dog is howling in time with "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. I am proud.

[HelenOE]

I want Leonard Cohen on vinyl. And the guitar tuned. That is all.

leonard cohen is so sweet

Dear Leonard Cohen, pls allow me avenge the travesty that is the "dance" version of Hallelujah playing in H&M right now.

When I was 16 I listened to Leonard Cohen's "The Future" over and over letting it warp my play-doh brain. Currently revisiting it's magic.

Leonard Cohen is the finest poet alive on earth today. Yeah, I said it.

Promising I'll never forget about Leonard Cohen for Jim's sake.

(and for extra bonus irony points, the name of the Tweeter of that last one was... Marianne)

[HelenOE]

This chipmunks cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is beautiful and haunting considering right after it was recorded Simon drowned

Long day. Break the glass for some emergency Leonard Cohen.

I'd seen Leonard Cohen live twice 2 years ago. Shows had been a summary of magic moments. Nothing compares to his charisma+voice

#nowplaying Death of a Ladies' Man by Leonard Cohen at too high a volume. My mid-life crisis has officially started...

And today is officially Take This Waltz day in the Leonard Cohen Twitter-stream, for a very natural and cogent reason.

Hace 115 años nació Federico G. Lorca. Seguro que Leonard Cohen brinda hoy por Morente y por él. Bendito triángulo
115 years ago Federico G. Lorca was born. I'm sure that Leonard Cohen is raising a glass today to Morente and to him. Blessed triangle.

Leonard Cohen - Hits collection
One of the best poets to have ever lived. I have loved him for 40 yrs

Escuchar a Leonard Cohen y llorar como una descosida sin dedal...
Listening to Leonard Cohen and crying like I'm coming apart at the seams-- and no thimble

Leonard Cohen: I'd like to have his tailor; bespoke marvels. #fccr

Hoy es el 115º aniversario del nacimiento de Federico García Lorca. No soy muy de Lorca. Soy mas de Leonard Cohen. Él si es muy de Lorca.
Today is the 115th anniversary of the birth of Federico García Lorca. I'm not big on Lorca. I'm more for Leonard Cohen. He is big on Lorca.

Leonard Cohen to me is the original goth. Brother wears the same expression in every image I have seen...and it's always a frown.

Half a bottle of malt and back to back Leonard Cohen make you want to jump out of a window. Luckily I'm on the ground floor.

I mean Leonard Cohen... don't know why I was thinking Jeff Buckley

[HelenOE]

The problem with growing up with parents that had great taste in music is that whenever I hear Leonard Cohen and Neil Young I get nostalgic.

I'm just going to end up heartbroken like when I couldn't afford to see Leonard Cohen.

Leonard Cohen & a bottle of Jameson while I wait for the thunder to roll in. #MakingANightOfThis #Bliss

the problem with today's world is that you hardly get to see the authentic genius poets like william blake ,Luis Benitez, Leonard Cohen..

Did I mention how bummed I still am about missing the William Blake World Tour?

Dear Northside Café: I expect to concentrate on reading yet you insist on playing Leonard Cohen, causing my eyes to wonder out the window?!

[HelenOE]

slaw. so rarely pulled off, so bittersweet when done right. Like a Leonard Cohen cover

antes de que se muera y empiecen a mamarlo, me declaro fan de Leonard Cohen
Before he dies and the sucking starts, I declare myself a fan of Leonard Cohen.

Literally cradled Jonny's Songs Of Leonard Cohen vinyl for about 5 mins. Can't remember last time i was that emotional. Roll on 05/09/2013

Is Leonard Cohen’s _Songs of Love & Hate_ the best album ever recorded? Or is it just tonight?

Gotta love Leonard Cohen for teaching us to laugh at our weaknesses.

christian slater plays leonard cohen and fights the system. yum yes please
