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

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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]

I don't know anything about this particular case, but it has all the classic hallmarks of a band asking somebody to enter rehab. The language is circumspect, it was hard, they discussed it etc. When there's "artistic differences" they usually say so. If there's an internal split everybody runs to the press to get their story out. When they don't talk about the reasons publicly it's almost always drugs or drinking.

Because books.
PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT.
Mostly because it's all too plausible, since he had the writ surgery and painkillers could be an issue.

I'm curious too, but part of me hopes we never know.
They've always been good at keeping things private (a certain F*CK YOUR CREW shirt being a noted exception) and I've always respected the way they pretty much never talk trash ( even if Mikey might want to. ) It's likely not a one word answer and, like any divorce, not really anybody outside the family's business.
That said, the whole thing is killing me and I WANNA KNOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW.
