Leonard Cohen is Dead

[rayheinrich]

Listened to that man all my life.

Religion, love, sex... he mixed all three into every damned song.

As far as my temperament goes, he's my lifetime favorite.
Maybe because he was such an excellent poet (and novelist for that matter).
(And yes, every bit the equal of Dylan and Waits.)

A poem of his:


            For Anne

    With Annie gone
    Whose eyes to compare
    With the morning sun?

    Not that I did compare,
    But I do compare
    Now that she's gone.

                - - -



(and that's how I feel about him)
