Hello FBI,
This was one of the more deranged incidents that I encountered while working as Cohen's personal manager. It's interesting that Leonard Cohen's own psychotic conduct annoys him. Leonard Cohen was even fantasizing about his last meal and one last cigarette. It was a very disturbing moment in time. It was also around this time (Cohen was becoming unhinged) that Cohen advised me that he was agoraphobic, homicidal, and had to lock himself into his house in Montreal over these feelings. That's when I thought - perhaps I should have the FBI profile him.
All the best,
Kelley
Leonard Cohen was interviewed in the late 80s by Mikal Gimore for a story he was preparing for Rolling Stone. At that time, Cohen was fascinated by the fact that Mikal Gilmore’s brother, Gary Gilmore, was executed by a firing squad. He told me that Mikal Gimore was completely unhinged by this situation and Cohen seemed to enjoy toying with Mikal Gilmore which horrified me. Cohen was delighted that Mikal Gilmore was actually unable to complete the article for Rolling Stone. After this interview, Leonard Cohen began telling me that he wanted to die by a firing squad. He went into great detail about this - discussing what he would have for his last meal and the fact that he would ask for one final cigaerette. This is when I seriously began thinking that I should get the FBI’s Quantico on the phone so that I was in possession of a professional profile of this deranged madman. When he began studying serial murderers, and became obsessed with Jeffrey Dahmer’s interview about remorse, I was absolutely alarmed and began joking with people that I now had Quantico on speed dial. In any event, this is a figure of speech and there is no evidence that I can assemble a firing squad or who the individuals on that squad might be. It’s just another case of Leonard Cohen’s insane conduct annoying him.

Cohen: Leonard Norman Cohen should be taken --
Public defender. Objection. I believe he’s just picking and choosing the part that he’s asked to read.

Gilmore was executed on January 17, 1977, at 8:07 a.m. by firing squad at Utah State Prison in Draper, Utah. The night before, Gilmore had requested an all-night gathering of friends and family at the prison mess hall. On the evening before his execution, he was served a last meal of steak, potatoes, milk and coffee; he consumed only the milk and coffee. His uncle, Vern Damico, who attended the gathering, later claimed to have smuggled in three small, 50-millilitre Jack Daniel's whiskey shot bottles which Gilmore supposedly consumed. He was then taken to an abandoned cannery behind the prison, which served as its death house. He was strapped to a chair, with a wall of sandbags placed behind him to trap the bullets. Five gunmen, local police officers, stood concealed behind a curtain with five small holes, through which they aimed their rifles. When asked for any last words, Gilmore simply replied, "Let's do it!" The Rev. Thomas Meersman, the Roman Catholic prison chaplain, administered the last rites to Gilmore. After the prison physician cloaked him in a black hood, Gilmore uttered his last words to Father Meersman: "Dominus vobiscum" (Latin, translation: "The Lord be with you.") Meersman replied, "Et cum spiritu tuo" ("And with your spirit")
