I thought the same thing. I just read it on line too, and am in tears.

 

R.I.P Leonard. God Bless you, and thank you for the music.

 

Hallelujah is one of the best songs every written.

Re: RIP Leonard Cohen

Oh, gosh.  I already was sad this week but now I feel worse.   

 

"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."

~Anthem, Leonard Cohen

 

Rest in peace, Leonard Cohen.   Thank you for the gift of your poetry and music.

Oh I"m so sorry to learn this - I love his music.

 

RIP Leonard, thanks for the great music, and Hallelujah:

I just bought his new CD yesterday. A true genius and a treasure.

So sad that his voice has been silenced.

Just read a touching story about how he recently sent a letter to the woman who inspired "Marianne." She was dying and in his letter he told her to hold out her hand, that he was not far behind and would see her soon.

I'm so sad!  This is the first I'd heard of it.  No, this week could not get any worse (knock on wood) Smiley Sad
