It's Lenny and Coco at the Movies! In the first of 4 episodes about various Leonard Cohen-related film and video projects, we're going right back to the start: the 1965 documentary commissioned by the NFB, "Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr. Leonard Cohen." Witness Lenny before he was a music star, wandering the streets of Montreal, reading poetry to adoring crowds, and getting a haircut. Before listening to the episode, you will probably want to watch the film here.

Leonard Cohen continues his streak of producing modern, electronic, dancey albums that are (for him, at least) big hits. This time it's 1992's The Future, coming hot on the heels of the fall of the Soviet Union and the apparent worldwide victory of liberal democracy—something about which Leonard definitely has some thoughts! "I have seen the future, baby—it is murder."
