Njegov glas, predvsem pa njegova besedila so tisto, kar bo ostalo za vedno. - [David Bowie / #rip #blackstar](https://www.had.si/blog/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/david-bowie-rip-blackstar.md) - [RIP Prince / nekje je zelo dobra zabava!](https://www.had.si/blog/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/rip-prince-nekje-je-zelo-dobra-zabava.md) - [Lou Reed – RIP](https://www.had.si/blog/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/lou-reed-rip.md) Smrt je smrt. In leto 2016 ni bilo prijazno leto. Preveč dobrih ljudi je [odšlo v tem letu](http://www.syracuse.com/celebrity-news/index.ssf/2016/01/celebrity_deaths_in_2016_famous_photos.html)… David Bowie, Prince, Dave Mirra, Gene Wilder, Muhammad Ali, ## Novico o smrti Leonarda Cohena so objavili na njegovi Facebook strani ([vir](https://www.facebook.com/leonardcohen/posts/10154767870839644)): _It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away._ _We have lost one of music’s most revered and prolific visionaries. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date. The family requests privacy during their time of grief._ ## Par misli Leonarda C0hena: - I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and he’s written poetry then let the verdict be that he’s a poet. - I don’t really understand that process called reincarnation but if there is such a thing I’d like to come back as my daughter’s dog. - My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico García Lorca. - I didn’t want to write for pay. I wanted to be paid for what I write. - We’re always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who’ve closed down. And there are times in one’s life when one has to close down just to regroup. ## Namesto odvečnih besede, ker je že Leonard Cohen povedal vse, naj govori njegova glasba: > Dear Leonard Cohen, thanks for the quiet nights, the reflection, the perspective, the wry smiles and the truth [\#towerofsong](https://twitter.com/hashtag/towerofsong?src=hash) > > — Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) [November 11, 2016](https://twitter.com/russellcrowe/status/796898076602400772) > Leonard Cohen dying is so goddamned symbolic right now.
