R.I.P. Leonard Cohen

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43624) • Denver, Colorado 10 Nov 16

He has been around since the coffee shops have come and gone and come again. He writes poetry, puts it to music and has a following. How can this be? He is 73 and still writes. The rock and roll hall of fame has captured his inner...
