What We Learned From Lyor Cohen’s Interview In The New York Times

Lyor Cohen had a very interesting article in the New York Times where he shared light on how he spends his Sundays. Cohen, age 54, shares his Sunday rituals using football analogies to describe each part of his day. Here's what we learned.

Lyor Cohen Is A Diehard Packers Fan

"Everything gets thrown off depending on whether the Packers are playing. I grew up in L.A., and we had a terrible quarterback, Roman Gabriel. When I was 11 years old, I fired him, I fired the Rams, and I picked a quarterback I aspired to be. That was Bart Starr. That’s how long I’ve been a Packers fan."

He's Still Adjusting To Living In The Village After 19 years On The Upper East Side

"We’re out-of-towners here, basically. So we’ve been walking Bleecker Street a lot. We’re having a lot of fun poking our heads in the stores and discovering the neighborhood."

He Loves Some American History

"I’m an American history buff. And I just like reading about historic figures. At the moment it’s biographies"

There's No Such Thing As A Day Off

"Have you ever heard the expression, “I thought we were having a friendly game?” I’ve never understood that. I don’t want to waste any time. I don’t want to be accused of sandbagging it and not contributing. I want to be a high contributor, period. Once you ask me to play the game, my expression of respect for the other guy is to leave it on the field."

He's Constantly Searching For The Next Superstar

"I wake up every morning and the singular thought in my head is that maybe today is the day that I’m going to find an artist who is so amazing, an artist who will change pop culture. I’m in hot pursuit, always."
