Re: RIP Leonard Cohen
Hi,
"interesting discussion on the radio today arguing that the wrong man won this,"
In some ways yes. In the '60s everybody who could hold down a chord "did" Dylan, me included but I always preferred his stuff done by somebody who could actually sing. Cohens music was much less popular t'up north and some say every one of his albums should have been sold with a packet of razor blades, but I always found his voice and stories had more of a feeling to them.
Its been a bad year for losing icons.
