shane, thanks so much for posting this...a very intriguing interview!

speaking in "how small is your world" terms i have a cohen related story...

last spring i was in nashville...i was in the honky tonk part of town & used
the ladies room...on the wall someone had written:

"ring the bells that can still ring
forget your perfect offering
there is a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in
l.cohen"

i was so overcome with the depth of this & it underlined everything i was
feeling on my first visit to nashville

when i got home i was talking with a friend who is also a songwriter & who
had worked with Leonard...i told her how cool it was to see him quoted on
the wall & she said that she had just read that very quote that morning on a
coffee cup he had given her coffee in when she had stopped by for a visit
