What a loss. What a remarkable poet. What a remarkable songwriter and what an undeniable voice. When Cohen sang, we listened. I'm very grateful to know his work. I'll always listen to his music.

We have had lots of conversation on Hubski regarding Leonard Cohen over the years. I think it's fair to say that there are many fans of his here.

b_b was just taking comfort in his lyrics yesterday. As sad as his passing is, we can still take comfort in his words, in his music and in his voice. Such is the enduring power of art.

What a force. Such a loss.

He was ready to die. Although we lost a treasure, I'm glad that he was at peace and comfortable with the life he led. Saw him twice and both were the two best concerts I've ever seen.
