Leonard Cohen is a lifelong hero of mine. This conversation with the man came about purely because I wanted to meet and talk with Cohen. After doing so, for roughly an hour, I felt so transcendent, that I decided I must go out in search of more of my heroes to talk with. That's how I became an interviewer. This is an edited version of a radio program I did called The Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited. The print interviews are available at joejacksoninterviewer.com
