Thank you so much for your service.

[@MrMikepresley]

Leonard befriended me when his son Adam was hospitalized at St Johns in Toronto, I worked there as a porter one summer in 1990, and was responsible for taking Adam to his daily therapy; met Leonard and everyday for a couple of weeks, he would take me to lunch, and after lunch would want to walk with me out behind the hospital ravine grounds, he would talk about my music and take with him my hand written songs, which I didn't think would like (country songs), but he told me he started out in a country band and loved the songs. He would also startle me with things that fascinated him, newspaper articles, religion, politics, willow trees? lol, and the thing that amazed me was that he was so famous, and yet he was giving me all this time, me a summer student porter; in short he saw beyond the class/ego. He seemed to be able to see richness in the everyday person. I me his sister, and other extended families who visited the hospital. I bought a cassette for him to sign, which he did, I still have it. For those weeks that I was with him, it seems surreal, I will never forget. One last thing Leonard recommended that I read Charles Bukowski, for inspiration, I did and it started me off writing short stories. Thank you for the Vlog Jordan, Bless you.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

That's such a great story. Thanks for sharing that!!!

[@MrMikepresley]

Youre welcome Jordan, you may find this interesting; I asked Leonard one day what his plans were for publishing anything new?, he responded back with, the publisher wanted Leonard to allow them to release a collective volume of all his writings he ever wrote in one package, and Leonard refused, so the published got tough and said that they wouldn't publish anything new unless Leonard agreed to the package (or anthology) of everything he wrote, but Leonard stuck to his stance.

[@mya5980]

Thank you for paying it forward to us!💕

[@remibachand2900]

You re should have more respect for Leonard Cohen famely life ; Adam Cohen therapy is personal ; Even if Adam talk about that subject in tv interview or in his own song that personal ; Get a life

[@debbiebrister3461]

Good morning everyone! Thanks for all your fabulous vlogs Jordan! I would love to visit Montreal, but will enjoy it through your eyes while staying warm in my home! I love all you do! Thanks!

[@peacebstill9187]

What a wonderful man he was, Beautiful vlog.

[@mynameisvna]

I love how you presented his everyday life. This was truly incredible. Thank you for braving the cold and giving us this special vlog!

[@kandicejanusz1829]

I love that quote about women. That made me feel good.

[@debbiebrister3461]

Thank you for teaching me about Leonardo Cohen. Wasn't familiar with his work, but will now listen to some.

[@pennygee7668]

Jordan, that was awesome! I love how you tell the story, you capture it so well! You are braving the elements, can hear the wind and crunch of the snow! Can't believe Leonard wore slippers in that cold, brrrr! Sandwich, yum! Seems he was very down to earth. Thanks for great vlog, stay warm!

[@jackiebratcher2997]

This Vlog Meant A Lot To me!... Leonard Cohen Is The Best!.. Sadly, Did not Know Of Him Till a Few Years Before He Died!.. WOW! What a Gifted Man!!!!!.. Thank You!!!!

[@Gang155]

I love your idea of neighbourhood life! I always enjoy old brick buildings like in this vlog. What a great job and tribute! Fun fact Jordan, you were minus 16 degrees yesterday and for periods of time where I live in Manitoba it can be minus 30 degrees with a windchill making it minus 40 degrees.

[@martinbeneteau309]

Hey Tanya I was thinking about how cold it was in Manitoba. Right now Windsor is at about -3 degrees C. Clear sky and no snow on the ground. I thought Jordan would be having an easier time with the cold coming from Ohio. But he's looking good!

[@blazefairchild465]

Thank you for allowing us to walk with you in the foot steps of my all time favorite 😍 man.

[@lauriealexander5857]

Oooh love this guy!!! Your so cool!!! Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@joshuawaltz9484]

The great Leonard Cohen man the impact and legacy he left. Thanks Jordan.

[@binky2596]

Great vlog Jordan. Your appreciation for him is so evident. Thank you, Belinda

[@sandyfatland3141]

Thank you Jordan! Nicely done.

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Awesome the new opening and graphics way cool broski! Dude your vlog rocks so much! 😎👍👍👍👍 I love all the murals and graff!

[@leontindle7226]

thats an awsome vlog thanks for sharing jordan the lion

[@TuesdayAfternoon]

Jordan thanks so much.This was a beautiful journey into the life of Leonard Cohen. Suzanne and Hallelujah are my favorites. The lyrics are beautiful poetry. The details of his life are interesting and give an insight into this talented mans spirit. Finally I understand the hidden meaning of Suzanne. You have such a talent for bringing a complete vision of your subject. What a wonderful insight into the life of Leonard Cohen. Been looking forward to watching this all day!

[@sallyyotz3995]

Well said!!

[@mya5980]

God willing, I'm going there July 2020!😊 I can't wait! I'm so happy!❤

[@feralLove]

How awesome was he, as a well known artist, that he could meet folks where they were at like the homeless poet!! That alone speaks volumes of his character! Absolutely love the neighborhood where he lived and his house!! 😁 No mistaking that mural of him as being anyone else. Think the artist captured his intensity well. All the street art is fantastic!! Even the doodle on the pole!! Wearing slippers outdoors like his makes perfect sense to me very hassle free!

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Wonderful, Jordan - textured and resonant and heartfelt (informational too!) -Liked it so much, I saved to my Pinterest. In all that frigid air - get yourself a really great French onion soup. - *Moved to be on this adventure/exploration with you. -A meditative, Sunday thanks. Best to you-

[@joanr381]

Jordan, you took us for a walk in the footsteps of Leonard Cohen today....amazing!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Im glad you enjoyed it

[@RhettyforHistory]

Fascinating to see where he lived there. Sure doesn't seem like slipper country!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

That's why he is Leonard Cohen :)

[@martinbeneteau309]

It's funny to see you at the Home Hardware! Thanks for taking us to Montreal. It's great to see the Canadians that contributed to the entertainment world. Take care

[@leggettnada1]

Thank you Jordan and you need to stay warm my friend. We don't need you to get sick. Great vlog,never a dull moment with you. Stay safe and God Bless you for all the joy you bring into our lives...

A great tribute to Leonard Cohen. Thanks.

[@tonywallow964]

Nice vlog 👍

[@janadeubner9883]

Very interesting vlog! I don't know much about this man so I will be looking him up. I do remember all of the tributes to him when he died. No wonder he was so beloved. Loved the murals. I was shivering along with you! Keep warm if possible !

[@lacollaros3641]

Jennifer Warnes did a tribute album of Leonard Cohen songs. It's called the Famous blue raincoat. Excellent job.

[@zany47]

Good morning have a blessed day😊❤

[@lbjordan9083]

Almost forgot. Rex Harrison, the actor’s son Noel had a big hit with the song “Suzanne” in 1967.

[@calikokat100]

[@carlapugdogwright3332]

Loved this one my old boyfriend used to smash his records when he came home ,I loved his music ,I’d go buy more . I like hearing about him

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Im glad it was an old boyfriend...

[@quester09]

he had so many contradictions! from a rich family, yet loved cheap hotels. roamed hither and yon, yet sat in the same cafe chair each day. joined the Israeli army too! RIP

[@colleenkelleher393]

Great vlog! Learned a lot about Leonard. Didn’t see any of this when I was there. Will have to go back in warmer weather. It was a blizzard when I went February 2020

[@adrianclinch9553]

Outstanding Jordan man it looks cold

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you. Very cold

[@rosalieallen8828]

I enjoyed getting to know about Leonard Cohen Jordan. Never heard of him b4 this.The snow looks as freezing as the Antarctic. It must b a bit of a challenge 2 stay focused while vloging.

[@patbowman6723]

Cool intro. Excellent vlog, informative and entertaining. Now, get out of the cold and get a cup of coffee or tea. thank you

[@PenelopePitstop1965]

Thank you for this vlog, Jordan. Well done. 👍👍

One of my idols Josephine Baker lived in Montreal, do you know about her Jordan? I’m sure you do 😊 I get told a lot I resemble her, I wish lol She was very Beautiful but lived a hectic and depressive life. Great video as always!

[@BigCha1976]

I first got turned on to Leonard Cohen while a Junior in High School. Had an English Teacher introduce me to his Poetry.

[@bethwiegand2957]

Leonard Cohen was the greatest. Thanks for the vlog.

[@racheldelgado9216]

Amazing vlog.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you, Rachel!

[@rubydawn1]

He was handsome I saw him once at a restaurant when I was in my 20s in the late 70s you could not help but flirt with him

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

I do like his song Hallelujah, he wore slippers around town? Good on him I do this myself at times probably wore stronger slippers in winter. Sounds like he was a really quirky and down to earth type of fella. Love the arty stuff where your vlogging. What a lovely man to share his memories of Leonard. Another cool as vlog Jordan, tyvm for having this passion for doing adventures and I am grateful for you. :) RIP Leonard Cohen

[@mariaburgundy700]

That was brilliant😁

[@mariaday712]

Really great vlog. I didn't know there was a large Portuguese neighborhood in Canada. I'm glad Leonard was so well loved there. He wrote great works of art. The smoked meat sandwich looked awesome. I'm glad you found those little Portuguese tarts. A friend of mine who is from Portugal told me that those are the first thing she has when she goes home to Portugal. She stops and gets one at the airport. LOL. I love the Portuguese people some of them are the sweetest people you can meet. Did you buy a pair of slippers like Leonard's? I would have. I know you're freezing to death there, but Thank You for sticking it out and going and vloging stuff for us to see. I like other lion hearts can't travel like you do and these vlogs mean everything to me. Gets me out of my world for a few minutes. I cant wait to see where you're going to take us tomorrow. Take great care and see you tomorrow.

[@williamcragg2145]

Thank you Jordan, Leonard is a Canadian treasure. So happy you are doing this vlog.

[@davidellis5141]

So many are not even aware that he wrote " Hallelujah " Jeff Buckley did a definitive cover. In " Tower Of Song " He made fun of his " Golden " voice. Along with Neil Young , a Giant of 🇨🇦 !

[@tauntaungirl6520]

Thanks so much for making this video. After Leonard died, I couldn't hear his voice without crying, for about 2 years. I've been to Montreal, but sadly never met Cohen before he passed on. But I was lucky enough to see him in concert twice....

[@crzycatlady3861]

Thanks to the movie Pump Up the Volume, I became a fan of Leonard Cohen. Everybody Knows....Everybody knows...

[@mgtowp.l.7756]

You Can Watch Here On KZbin "Ladies And Gentlemen Mr. Leonard Cohen" ...Directed by Donald Brittain & Don Owen - The Year Of 1965

[@mrDCunningham]

I am so not cultured. I really didn't know much at all about Leonard Cohen. It's always an education watching your vlogs. Nice research Jordan 😎👌

[@irenehelen9199]

Thank you for this excellent video. I really enjoyed it, and I am a Montrealer. You so nicely conveyed the spirit of Leonard Cohen and of his area in Montreal's Plateau neighborhood.

[@iriscarmona9607]

Hola Jordan, I dont know him but that's a beautiful place thank you for sharing besos from Puerto Rico 💕💕❤

[@TheRockin1953]

Thanks You for letting me know about Leonard Cohen, he was a Master Mind for sure, I will be listening to more of his tunes for sure

[@maryjaneblahnik5884]

Thanks for sharing.

[@spokanetomcat1]

At the 14:05 the green dragon building lights are called sconces. Great story and awesome research you did for this story too.

[@chasingdragonflies7691]

This means so much more to me than just a video on KZbin! I will treasure it with the rest of my Leonard Cohen collection...I feel so connected to him because of how much his music brings me to an incredible emotional level. I wish I had found him at the beginning instead of almost the end! When I get to heaven Leonard Cohen will be one of the first souls I will search for 💓💓❣ Thank you so much for taking me here on this trip....❣❣❣🍁

[@chumbley88]

Another great one!!

[@seannorton69]

maybe he wore flannel socks.

[@leonacoulter7376]

Awesome vlog! Thank you for keeping Leonard Cohen's memory alive! Keep warm and go to Tim Hortons for hot chocolate! Yummy!

[@pdxer8895]

He is great, and a unique talent. Always even better when we know how nice a person was. Thumbs Up!

[@deloisgrant2445]

Jordan what a great storyteller you are, and thanks for taking us to Montreal its a fabulous city!

[@sharonfrazier4914]

Kurt Cobain and others were also a fan.

[@TerriIncircles]

Hey Jordan, my mom’s over visiting and I introduced her to your videos.. She’s amazed lol And loving it..She said to tell you that’s your a nice guy and know your stuff . She said hi. She’s watching your Ike and Tina Turner video right now. Keep on keeping on And God bless you sweet man 😇

[@debbieclark7031]

Thank you for broadening my world. I checked out Leonard Cohen, what a great voice !!!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I agree

[@debbiemoeller2169]

What a great vlog. You have given us some very interesting insights into Lenard. Your such a brave soul to give us this vlog. Your truly a dedicated, caring person. That's why we all love you!!! Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤❤. Be safe

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

My pleasure. I hope more people will know of him possibly from this

[@debbiemoeller2169]

@@DazewithJordantheLion you have alot more people watching, so I believe so. And word of mouth👍

[@TommyBurton75]

Leonard truly was an artist. And from this vlog, it sounds like he was a nice guy. So cool. Safe travels! TB

Amazing

[@theangendeavor9910]

Love Leonard Cohen! Amazing Vlog! Sorry you are so cold up there. Yes might be time to get some wool underwear. It’s warm and yet your skin can breathe! Blessings to you Mr. Jordan!🙏🏽😊👍🏽❄️

[@bonniespenst369]

I loved your vlog. I learned so much more about Leonard, very enjoyable. Thank you

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Awesome!

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

Thank you Jordan. I am not familiar with him at all. But thinking I walked around Montreal 35 years ago. When he was still alive. Maybe he was there when I was walking down the same streets. I will never know. I do know that I don't remember seeing all that graffiti way back then. Yes time changes everything. Peace to you.

[@TravisRitenourautismvlogs]

you should definitely go visit arlington national cemetery and visit jfk’s grave also you may get the chance to witness the changing of the guard which is a short but symbolic ceremony it does not matter what time of year or day or weather there is always a person standing guard over the tomb of the unknowns fact each Sentinel of the 3rd infantry regiment aka the old guard does not wear rank insignia this is so that those guarding the tomb does not out rank the unknowns

[@Highland804]

I had sort of peripherally noticed his music..."Suzanne", etc. Then I watched a movie called "McCabe and Mrs Miller". Very dark movie, but his music was all through it. I love "Sisters Of Mercy"...and a new favorite, "Avalanche" (not in the movie). That particular song is done beautifully by Aimee Mann on HBO's "I'll Be Gone In The Dark" documentary. Also, some of his later shows featured The Webb Sisters, Hattie and Charley. They were the backup singers for Tom Petty's 40th Anniversary Tour.

[@Rob9H]

Amazing vlog in tribute to an amazing human being. Leonard Cohen has been an inspiration to me for the better part of 25 years. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in Boston around 2010-2011. He played a 2+ hour show with only one break, no opening acts. That show remains a dear moment in my life. Thank you Jordan for your love of the worlds weird, wonderful, talented, obscure, and often forgotten.

[@princessskate8016]

Jordan you have given us yet another great look into someone and someplace we enjoyed being shown! Thank you for braving the Montreal cold and taking us with you. I think you have possibly shown me more in this past year than I will see in my whole life. You are an old soul, Jordan, do you know that? I am 63yo and you, Jordan, are more much like me and your grandfather than you likely realize-or do you! Take care and don't wear slippers in Montreal. I love the music and words of Leonard Cohen. My favorites are The Blue Raincoat and Halleleujah.

[@squinkque]

Very good vlog, Jordan. Visiting Montreal in January is like taking a big bite out of cold reality sandwich. Thanks for all the Leonard Cohen stories, now I won't feel bad about wearing my slippers outside my apt. I'm a fan of his music too, not a huge fan, but I do have his 2 greatest hits albums which are really a necessary addition to any "rock era" albums. He was both mordant and soothing at the same time.

[@rosalieallen8828]

Fab vlog Jordan .. I jus watched In the park with Leonard Cohen too. Down to earth guy.Very kool guy.. how saddening it is. I bet Phill the guy sitting with him misses him.
