There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

No, I got that. So was Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters. Also Don Henley of The Henleys Eagles.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
David, Just maybe this is a time to let people have a minute or two to mourn a band that they really liked. As a thought.

It doesn't sound like the band is over, but I didn't mean to intrude on your mourning.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound overly bitchy there. Just, this news does hurt if you care about the band. Even if they reform in another configuration, this version of the band is over, for me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Whatever they do next will be beautiful. And whatever Bob does next will surely rock as well.
But, yeah, big ending is big big big.

It's honestly killed some of the anticipation I had for the next album - I was so looking forward to seeing what all of them did with the direction they were going in.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am curious as to the reason for Bob's departure; I wonder if we'll ever know.
Other Cohen fans may have already seen this, but there's a personal reflection on LC's music in a guest post at Tiger Beatdown. [link]
