'I was always touched to the modesty of their interest in my work'

I think someone should hurt them.

Funny, I was thinking something like that as well.

Our man he is the best, the most handsome, the most gracious with the absolutely bestest voice! Worth staying up for. At least at the Hall of Fame we were able to see the video. Ah well, maybe it will become available shortly.

Congratulations Leonard, and thank you for sharing your lifetime with us.

candyTman Beautiful speech by Leonard Cohen just now at the lifetime achievement award ceremony and great Michael Jackson tribute.

Glad I stayed up for this ! (Apart from those two annoying creatures ...)

(BTW, I thought I saw a glimpse of a beard , but I may be wrong, it's already late over here ...)

Wonderful!

Yes. CONGRATULATIONS !

And as ever : I thank, Mr.Cohen

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Leonard looked and sounded so great! He also recited the Tower of Song when he was the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame recipient. At that time, as meaningful as it was, it seemed to be coming from someone whose career was over. As we know now, the best was about to happen!

But, why did he recite it now? As great as he sounded tonight, was that a goodbye? What, oh what, is happening with the tour? I somehow don't think I will have much sleep tonight. Is it once again another beginning? Or was it a farewell?

My heart is happy/sad.

We were allowed to see the "acceptance" speeches but I think they were not allowed to stream any of the prepared "tributes" - for whatever reason. I think MarieM said they would be available on the website tomorrow - I hope, I hope, I hope. Or - they also might show up elsewhere.

Thanks again to Sue7 for the link for the live stream!!

I hate to say it, but if there was ever a perfect time to retire it would be now, at the top of his game.

Sorry I missed it. But hey at least I've got this Lady Gaga fan video to watch

Will this speech be televised tomorrow? I'll really be gutted if it isn't. Perhaps it'll make it's way to youtube or the good doctor's site.

Great to hear that Leonard was on form. As always.
