"I have never felt more in need of Leonard Cohen than now, when everything is spiraling towards oblivion. He wouldn’t be able to cheer me up, but at least he wouldn’t try."

If you're a fan, you'll understand the above sentiment. I think, in our little Golden bubble, we maybe don't feel the oblivion the author refers to even as much as others in our own country might and definitely not like our neighbours to the south do.

I liked this article for other reasons too. It's beautifully written, with intellect and wit. And has very excellent musings about writing and being a writer. And a human. All of those.

But more than any of that, oh, do I miss Leonard.
