Well, this week delivered another fine blow: Leonard Cohen is dead. He was 82, so he had a reasonably long life, but I have to tell you that from where I stand right now, that's just not enough years--not for him, not for me, not for anyone.
At the risk of repeating everyone else, I'm putting here a relatively recent performance of his brilliant song, "Hallelujah."
Damn, another legend passes. 2016 has been brutal for musicians.
Much sadness at his passing. I didn't care for his singing, but I read his lyrics with care. My favorite quote is the famous one from Anthem -

Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.”
We need some light right now.
Indeed we do.
