(thread creep)...I was performed at an elegant cocktail party back when I attending university at Irving Layton's home (well-known Canadian poet, but perhaps not as well-known as Cohen), and Leonard Cohen was there, as well as other artistic notables. One of the guests who'd obviously had too much to drink, wandered over the Cohen who was chatting with Layton (within earshot of me) and interupted the conversation, and said to Cohen "Excuse me Leonard? It's a honour to meet you. I just wanted to tell you I thought you did really great work on Star Trek, and love the way you portrayed Doctor Spock!"

Cohen with a wry smile on his face said, "Why thank you!"

I nearly pissed myself then and there.
