I appreciate anything I learn about Leonard Cohen, and I’ve always adored Rufus’ voice.

I remember when Cohen died...his family announced it a couple days after the 2016 election as if we weren't all heartbroken enough. It seemed losing a treasure such as Leonard Cohen was emblematic of depth of our nation's loss.

My favorite work is "Dance Me to the End of Love." Cohen was a master of expressing passion in word and song. I am very grateful for his work.
