He doesn't really belong here. However, if Dylan died, most of us'd sure include him here. So, it is in that spirit that I include this.

Leonard Cohen, 82, says he is "ready to die," in a recent "New Yorker" profile. He isn't sick or anything, just tired of being old and eager to rejoin his wife, who passed last year.

I didn't know, ever, that he was Canadian. That doesn't change anything. I've liked lots and lots of Northern talent. Never cared about origins. As a folk singer/writer, he's always been # 2, as I dislike Dylan more.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
