Adam Cohen has released a video promoting his new album, "Like A Man." In it, he talks about finding his place as part of his father's heritage rather than rebelling against that notion.  Consequently, Leonard Cohen appears often in this brief video.  These photos are all screen captures from "Adam Cohen - Like A Man"  

The first  shot is Leonard Cohen with his grandson (Adam's son). The second image shows Leonard and Adam Cohen embracing. The third is composed of two screenshots, one showing Adam Cohen walking past a mirror and one showing a young Leonard Cohen also walking  past  a mirror (a scene originally from "Ladies and Gentlemen - Mr. Leonard Cohen"). Fourth  is Leonard Cohen in the audience watching his son perform. Fifth is Leonard Cohen talking about about his son's performance; the full caption (including the previous frames) follows:

He's the real thing. Even if he weren't my son, I'd be deeply moved. The fact that he is my son makes me so very happy.

There are many more allusions to Leonard Cohen, including scenes from Hydra. Rufus Wainwright also makes a couple of appearances.

Update 5:20 PM, February 20, 2011:  Lorca Cohen was initially identified in this post as the surrogate mother. This characterization was based on newspaper reports which were erroneous. Lorca's father, Leonard Cohen, has emailed me with the information that Lorca Cohen is the mother, not the surrogate mother,  of Viva and will raise the child herself.
