Sure it is a honourable position many a bug in his vineyard would like to have. Being a mere tramp stealing grapes there myself, I will probably not even be worth any further glimpse of the estate holder ever and thus am not in the position to suggest anything
Yet, I can assure you your somewhat unusual revelations (Popsicles etc.) would only go well with the master’s own good humour and could surely be included in your second book: “The Alternative Biography of LC. True or false? – Make up your own mind.”
Anyway, get in line with the supplicants, good doctor. What have you got to lose? After all, Leonard had no qualifications for his job as singer either, did he?

Shucks, you’ll make me blush. Alas, if you check the Tower of Song, you’ll find a long line of supplicants for the biographer position, many of whom have the unfair advantage of possessing qualifications for the job. I suspect that, malcontent that I am, I will continue to labor in the vineyards of the Cohen, making do with the sporadic glimpse of the estate holder. (To be fair, I don’t know that I could make a case for myself – without smirking – as biographer based, for example, on my revelation that the frozen love imagery in “Who loved you with his frozen love./His second hand physique” evolved from his fondness for Popsicles, photographic evidence notwithstanding.) You are, nonetheless, an altogether swell fellow for daring to voice (keyboard just doesn’t scan there , does it?) such a notion.

Why colloquial? (hehe) Send him over and I will advise him personally that you would surely do a better job than anyone has so far. And that lots of people would want a copy (you got quite a fanbase ). I can be very convincing and manipulative (teacher, you know *rofl*).
Anyway, why not give it a go if you are interested? Aren’t you?

Ah, from your lips to Leonard’s ear (in a colloquial sense, of course)

You really should consider becoming LC’s biographer. I mean it.
