Jian Ghomeshi host of the music/culture show Q on CBC radio Canada recently had an amazing interview with Leonard Cohen (below the fold). For those not familiar with Q, the CBC or Jian Ghomeshi, he is a former musician with the band Moxy Fruvous turned broadcaster/culture interviewer for Canadian Public Radio (for lack of a better term).
I like him a lot as a culture interviewer since he brings a breadth of personal knowledge/subject research to every interview that results in interesting and informative interviews. Some of you have heard about his semi-famous interview with Billy Bob Thornton's band, The Boxmasters, which I diary'd here.
Anyway, Leonard Cohen accepted an interview with him where they discuss his music and life. It's a very interesting interview both for what is said and is not said.
If you enjoy this, I'd recommend watching more of the Q show with Jian. I always find it informing and it usually opens more avenues for discussion than it answers.
