ladies and gentlemen...

...mr. leonard cohen
74 years old and still dashing.

Remember when you first heard "So Long Marianne", "Chelsea Hotel" or "Bird on a Wire"? If you have any soul whatsoever, they completely destroyed you, tore you up and slit you to pieces. Pardon the melodrama; Cohen tends to bring out the 20 year-old tragic mentality in me.

Cohen is a master of metaphor, a virtuoso with the guitar and quite possibly one of the most profound lyricists ever. I find it relevant to acknowledge Mr. Cohen at this time as he is currently on a world tour. Australia in February sure sounds good to me!
