Leonard Cohen was on PBS Newshour today Australian time. Yes, we see it slightly delayed here and I'll watch it if it's on. The timelag means that I watched the US episode screened 'yesterday' with a few hours delay, late 'today'. [If you're confused you just sampled what it's like to live in my head]
Aside from keeping me conversant in American politics, it often rewards with the cultural pieces and occasional Gore Vidal essay.
The interview can be found in MP3 format at the Newshour Leonard Cohen Page.

Thousands
by Leonard Cohen
Out of the thousands
who are known or want to be known as poets,
maybe one or two are genuine
and the rest are fakes,
hanging around the sacred precincts,
trying to look like the real thing.
Needless to say,
I am one of the fakes
and this is my story.
