Leonard Cohen on Bob Dylan:
Does he look a little smug?
This clip recalls Miles's argument in dylan.pdf that Cohen wrote Dylan's best songs; based on a comparison of lyrics, as well as the following:
It also seems possible that third parties were involved with both artists.
“I think that Bob Dylan knows this more than all of us: you don’t write the songs anyhow,” he said. “So if you’re lucky, you can keep the vehicle healthy and responsive over the years.
“If you’re lucky, your own intentions have very little to do with this. You can keep the body as well-oiled and receptive as possible, but whether you’re actually going to be able to go for the long haul is really not your own choice.”

Do we have any other indication Cohen is our man? Well, his label was Columbia, which gives us the link. We have a second link via John Hammond, who signed both Dylan and Cohen. So Cohen was there in the same studios, was available, was controlled by the same people, and was paid by the same people. It also answers a previous problem I had, concerning the age of “the poet.” I felt Dylan was too young, with too little experienceto have written what was written. Well, Cohen is seven years older. In 1965, when Dylan was only 23, Cohen was 30. That makes a big difference.
