    Anytime Brian, love Cohen and figured I should share the love. :) I am beyond stoked he is still putting music out. Pre-ordered the vinyl yesterday.

    He couldn't release something bad even if he tried.
    Some people would disagree, they would be wrong but they would disagree. =)
    I agree- anything by Cohen is worth checking out!

    This also makes me sad but I will take whatever he is willing to share with us until his time comes.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Today we lost this great poet and musician. My heart is truly broken over this news.

    Such sad news this morning. :( I had the pleasure of seeing him live a few years ago in a small-ish venue in Manchester. He was onstage for 2.5 hours.

    This has put a damper on my entire family.

    First time the death of an artist/someone I do not know affects me like this.

    One of the greatest artists I've seen live. Oozed with charm.
