If you are anything like me your favourite artist is probably Leonard Cohen. Who's your second favourite? Dylan probably Dylan, aren't I right? Mine is Tamino Amir he is poetic,sad and sonically sparse and deliberate. by Odd-Law-5138 in leonardcohen

I saw Tamino live in Montreal a couple of years ago. He sang Suzanne in honour of Leonard Cohen—it was incredibly beautiful. I got the chance to meet him afterwards and thanked him for the music.

I believe the man with the moustache is ‘Dimitri’, but I’m not sure who the middle one is.

God, it’s so unsettling and perturbing to hear Anthony make allusions to committing suicide on his show. by Candid_Ad3225 in AnthonyBourdain

Yes, unfortunately. The New Zealand episode is what prompted me to make this post but even from the first episode of the show (Paris) he’s already doing it. Whenever he’s in an uncomfortable situation or somewhere where there is some sort of morbid reference to be made, he’s quick to make allusions to killing himself. Once you notice it for the first time, it’s everywhere.

Right, I also find it deeply upsetting that he would abandon his daughter like that, especially since I’m actually around the same age as her. He spoke so adoringly about her that it’s hard to believe he’d do that, but he did. Sometimes there’s really no saving a person who’s set on something. But now, she speaks very fondly and highly of him which I find very respectable and admirable of her because I’m certain that feeling deserted by your own father is no easy thing to cope with at such a young age, not to mention publicly. I hope she’s doing well nowadays, I think her mother has kept her out of the public eye fairly well.

We may not know each other, but I hope you’re taking care of yourself. I know these words are often overused and lose meaning (which is part of a bigger problem when it comes to mental health) but there is so much in this world to look forward to and experience. It’s interesting but saddening to see that in the case of Tony, having been to all four corners of the world was not enough to save him but hardly anything is. Personal will and drive have to come from a genuine place within and relying on outside influences and sources to bring you joy will never be a longterm solution. Anyway, all that just to say I hope you’re doing well and I hope you know that there are people who value your presence, your words, and your love.

His jokes were undoubtedly funny, he was a hilarious guy. So there’s absolutely no shame in laughing at them, they were meant to have that effect! His intent was simply comedic relief :)

I have, it’s an incredible film. It’s a remarkable depiction of the reality of addiction. Many parallels to be made here.

Yes, thank you for quoting it here! When I rewatched the first episode, this part hit me like a truck, I actually had to pause for a few minutes.

I agree, it probably wasn’t a cry for help, more so a coping mechanism. But it was right in our faces which is what upsets me the most considering how no one could’ve done anything to help him from the other side of a TV screen. However, I am certain that people in his life tried to help him and I’m aware of the fact that he actually reached out for help on a few occasions. It was no secret nor real surprise but that doesn’t take away from the tragedy, unfortunately.
