Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Only just heard - I'm stunned and don't really know what to say, except for me he was possibly one of the greatest singer-songwriter, novelist and poet. Up there with the best of them: Dylan, Mitchell, Paul Simon etc.
What a bummer 2016 is turning out to be - can it get any worse?
I'm off to play some Cohen, and possibly get drunk.
RIP Leonard, your work had an enormous influence on me.

I guess it's on specially. There's a Leonard Cohen programme on BBC 4 at the moment. I think Sharon Robinson may be singing with him. She's superb.

Leonard with (If I recall) Jennifer Warnes and the sublime Sharon Robinson. 'Alexandra Leaving'.

I'm Hosea.
I met Leonard Cohen one night in Montreal. I was a student at McGill University, his alma mater. I heard that a small bar was going out of business and Leonard might go there that night. So I went. He came in alone and ordered a drink at the bar. I said, "How are you?" He said, "Can't complain." I said, "I'm from Japan." He said, "I just got back from there. I was with a Zen master." What a lovely night. Loved him dearly.
Another. Just in tribute to Leonard, 'By the Rivers Dark': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml61uvOHdkA

K D Lang's live cover of Leonard's 'Hallelujah'. Very fitting and superb!

If you notice at the end. Leonard Cohen was in the audience.

An immense talent. One of our greatest. RIP Leonard.
