Leonard Cohen, dead at 82
One of the all-time greats has left us.. He was 82. Canada and the world mourn his loss.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

The great north has lost one of it's greatest sons 

But his bards will endure the test of time
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Anthem
by Leonard Cohen

The birds they sang at the break of day Start again I heard them say Don't dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be. Ah the wars they will be fought again The holy dove She will be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. We asked for signs the signs were sent: the birth betrayed the marriage spent Yeah the widowhood of every government -- signs for all to see. I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring . . . You can add up the parts but you won't have the sum You can strike up the march, there is no drum Every heart, every heart to love will come but like a refugee. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. That's how the light gets in. That's how the light gets in.

I remember an interview he did with Terry Gross. She asked how he attained his distinctive deep voice and he said 500 tons of whiskey and a million cigarettes.

Baruch Dayan Emet, Leonard. Somehow 82 years and 14 albums doesn't feel like enough.

And now to play songs from three movies that got me into him in the first place:

Not many great poets and songwriters left. I'm going to miss him.

Numbers are dwindling.  We've still got Tom Waits and Nick Cave and John Darnielle.  But we need a new generation of singer-warrior-poets!  I didn't get into Cohen until the last year or so but damn was he amazing.
