Leonard Cohen RIP

[poliphilo]

He placed himself a hundred floors below Hank Williams but I think that was unduly modest of him. He was a true poet and wrote lines that scald. It was an interesting life and he sang every part of it. I don't think he's left us, really- just moved to that tower down the track.

Dylan is protean and prolific, Cohen was very meticulous. They could hardly be more different. The Academy chose the right one, I think, but Cohen would have been a worthy winner too.

I loved The Man From Uncle.
