Mazel Tov Leonard!

Tonight, as I write this, Leonard Cohen is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Though I am somewhat skeptical of the institution, I couldn't be more personally pleased for him. He deserves all kind of kudos for his long and varied career and if this event shines more light on him so much the better.

So thank you Mr. Cohen, for all you have done. Thank you for the years of trying to figure out "Famous Blue Raincoat". Thank you for the bittersweet delight that is your poem "Song" which gave me my green sweater fixation. Thank you for the way my voice sounds when I sing "Song of Bernadette" in the shower. Most of all, thanks for all the wonderful words.

Congratulations!
