Rest in peace, Leonard Cohen.
1934-2016

Just... for fuck's sake, 2016. For the sake of fuck.

"Because of course this week," as one announcement of his death I've seen has put it.

It says something about this year that a computer game trailer has summed it up so pithily.

First 20 seconds.

(I in no way applaud or condemn the game. Never played it. But they really tapped the zeitgeist with the opening of their trailer).

To be fair, his last record, You Want It Darker (statement, not question) very, very clearly indicates he was aware it was time.

And if you want to take the long view, it's practically something he's been rehearsing for since his first record.

Cold comfort, sure, but I find this more bearable than some random motion of fate's hand.
