>Cohen is mentioned in the Nirvana song "Pennyroyal Tea" from the band's 1993 release, In Utero. Kurt Cobain wrote, "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld/So I can sigh eternally." Cohen, after Cobain's suicide, was quoted as saying "I'm sorry I couldn't have spoken to the young man. I see a lot of people at the Zen Centre, who have gone through drugs and found a way out that is not just Sunday school. There are always alternatives, and I might have been able to lay something on him."
could Leonard have saved him?
Cameron Howard
I still miss him bros ;_;
Thomas Collins
>could Leonard have saved him? Leonard couldn't even save himself.
Logan Murphy
no one could have saved him. he was in a bad mental state and was in what was probably the worst life situation relative to his mental state.
same. YWID is a great final album though.
Asher Martinez
what are your fav Cohen songs? I haven't listened to much of his stuff, right now my favourite is Going Home
Luis Myers
Avalanche always makes me hate myself the appropriate amount I feel
Ethan Diaz
I wish Kurt Cobain was still alive, because then Nirvana would be as popular as Pearl Jam on this board and we wouldn't have to deal with all these dumb threads about him.
Jaxon Fisher
these are my favorites by album. I skipped most of the classics that you've probably already heard
Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye Story of Isaac Sing Another Song, Boys There Is a War Iodine Ballad of the Absent Mare The Law Tower of Song Anthem Love Itself Villanelle for Our Time Amen A Street Steer Your Way
Jaxson Rogers
Just listen to his first 4 albums, every track on them is perfect. Been listening to the album New Skin for the Old Ceremony a lot lately.
David Smith
Neil Young made a similar statement when finding out Cobain quoted him in his suicide note. Must have really fucked with musicians knowing Cobain was wallowing in depression listening to their dark lyrics and giving up hope.
Christopher Miller
It's weird how Cohen was calling musicians young men/women ever since he debuted.
Levi Nelson
Saved him from what? Courtney murdering him? The exact specs of the shotgun were only released last fucking year. He couldn't reach the trigger. Not to mention that it had a trigger guard and he was wearing shoes. Did none of you know that Courtney was caught with a handwriting practice sheet? This is all just tip of the iceberg.
Hudson Miller
he was already in his mid-thirties when his first album came out
Joseph Bailey
Here we go
Jacob Smith
I also watched soaked in bleach
Carter Wright
Why'd you even acknowledge him.
These people will never see the absurdity in reacting incredulously to the suicide of a widely known depressive heroin addict with chronic health issues. They're the contemporary version of the "Paul is Dead" lunatics.
Kevin Evans
SAVE THE PARTY CONVERSATION
Isaac Cox
Imagine how spooked Neil must have been when he found out he was quoted in Cobain's suicide note.
Carson Clark
The 'Paul is dead' was always more of a joke that went too far while people legitimately believe Courtney murdered Kurt.
Luke Cruz
Believe me dude, there are fair number of people who took it very seriously. You can still find a bunch of early 2000's websites of people obsessively compiling "proof" that Paul was replaced.
Oliver Smith
I actually haven't seen it and the shotgun details were released after the film.
Kayden Ortiz
But they spend a good amount of the film talking about the shotgun details.
Elijah Garcia
Never-before-seen The shotgun hasn't been seen before publicly, except for certain crime scene photos that reveal a partial view of the weapon. March 27, 2016
Cameron Carter
Holy shit is that the actual gun? I wouldn't be able to reach with the end in my mouth, and I'm a fucken gibbon
Zachary Jackson
Ironic
Dylan Davis
You point it at the roof of your mouth, rest the butt on the ground, and pull the trigger with your toe.
