This is not a music blog, but we cats feel the need to recognize Leonard Cohen's last letter to his dying former lover, Marianne Ihlen, as an expression of universal truth.
"Well, Marianne," Cohen wrote, "it's come to this time when we are really so old, and our bodies are falling apart, and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you, that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine."
May all of us who have tried to make a difference in the world salute the source of our inspirations so eloquently. We cats PURR.
