Former Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe on CBC Podcast, Leonard Cohen Montreal Bell Centre Concert Nov 28.12

December 4, 2012
CBC Montreal Daybreak hosts Mike Finnerty & Jeanette Kelly, Gilles Duceppe

Mike Finnerty, host of CBC Montreal Daybreak introduced the first Leonard Cohen Concert at the Bell Centre on Nov 28.

The next day on his radio broadcast, he included a segment with CBC news reporter Jeanette Kelly speaking to several concertgoers at the Bell Centre about the "elegant, personable, growly voiced" Leonard Cohen.

It turns out that the first person Ms Kelly spoke to was Gilles Duceppe, former leader of the Bloc Quebecois party, who sounds like a big Leonard Cohen fan.

The other concertgoers were delightful, one man and a mother daughter duo. (I am thinking these were the best clips from everybody Kelly interviewed)

I extracted the two minute Leonard Cohen section from the CBC Montreal podcast.  At the end, Mike Finnerty made an interesting observation about a Gilles Duceppe remark.
