Cool Weird Awesome With Brady Carlson

Today in 1934, Leonard Cohen was born. His music and poetry have influenced other songwriters and poets for decades, but today we’re talking about another part of his career, and maybe the weirdest part: the time he guest starred on the 80s action series “Miami Vice.” Plus: today in 1997, Dunkin gave out free donuts to mark the last hurrah for their longtime TV pitchman, Fred the Baker.  Revisiting Leonard Cohen's fantastic cameo appearance in 'Miami Vice' (Far Out) Doughnuts for everyone, on Fred Pitchman: Fred, the star of Dunkin' Donuts TV ads for 15 years, gets a sweet send-off today as the company gives away doughnuts at its 3,300 U.S. locations.
