His cover of “The Partisan” partly inspired my user name. Will be missed.

Didn’t like his work at all, but definitely an influential and talented man. And an icon of his age. R.I.P Leonard Cohen.
Guess he can go join the tower of song now.

Can’t seem to stop crying.
Swapping back and forth between the beauty of “Alexandra Leaving” and Martha Wainwright’s gorgeous version of “The Traitor”.
He hypnotised that crowd on The Isle of Wight much like Longie hypnotised Fark Carlton in '93. Magic was afoot on both occasions.

If a Nobel for literature was handed out to a musician it probably should have been to Leonard, rather than Dylan (as much as I enjoy Dylan).

Should have been both not either or.
