In Memoriam: Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)
Leonard Cohen, one of the most distinctive troubadours to arrive on the musical scene in the 1960s, passed away today at the age of 82. An uncompromising talent who mordantly titled his most recent album (released just weeks ago) You Want It Darker, Cohen continued to create, inspire, and provoke until his final days. His gifts of song and art, always infused with boldness, a deep spirituality and a keen observer's eye, will always resonate with truth, honesty, power and passion. In tribute
