Leonard Cohen is on tour (and something is right in the world)

The greatest musical poet since the late 1960s, Leonard Cohen, fresh from his Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame induction, has just launched his first tour in 17 years of something like this, in Canada, and then to Europe. Here's a brief YouTube clip, only 24 seconds, but notable in that 1) he has his voice back, due to quitting cigs 2) he is wearing a cool hat and seems spry for his over-70ness 3) he is doing the rocking "Closing Time."
