RIP - Leonard Cohen

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...-at-82-w449792

I know, I know, . . . 'who?'

Nyuck nyuck. [ed, per SR]

Man was a giant of songwriting, go find the works of those who idolized him and covered his works to get a feel for his legacy.

82, and in pain for a while, the release is probably a blessing.

Now he's off to meet Marianne on down the road

Quote:

"... well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.”

The man played Coachella this year and was well received by the predominately younger audience. Was cool to see.

Sucks he's dead.

it's not 'yuck, yuck, yuck'

It's nyuck nyuck... and then that's it. nothing more - so 'nyuck' and you only type it twice, consecutively.

If you're truly at a loss to ID him, for his highest profile success, think Shrek. Think Jeff Buckley

This is a real drag. His music has carried me through so many stages in life.

If you're looking around for an album of his to listen to, try Various Positions or I'm Your Man.

Leonard Cohen was one of the greats, the lyric debut album is indispensable. His passing fits the current zeitgeist somehow, farewell sir.
