Well, just to prove that 2016 will go down in history as a year in which we lost too many icons, Leonard Cohen has passed away at age 82. He was a true visionary as well as a songwriter and poet, and the world will not be a better place without him. I picked this quote because with everything that’s going on…well…it just seems fitting somehow.
There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.

Although I was never a fan of his voice, his haunting lyrics were part of the ‘script’ of my generation. Another talent sadly lost to us.
Best wishes, Pete.

I know I read somewhere that his voice was damaged by cigarette smoking but I agree Pete. His lyrics were amazing. Just take Hallelujah alone. How many singers covered that?💁🏻

It is always sad that such a great musician dies. Leonard was a really charismatic person. Rest in peace, Leonard Cohen.
