a sad day
— Brian Eno (@dark_shark) December 8, 2016
I knew Greg, met him on a tour, and he introduced me to his carrot juice machine - that was my first time - didn't like carrot juice then but I did like him A LOT. We went to buy him some serious winter gloves somewhere in Duluth, MN and he took me to dinner. I got to stand on the stage and underneath the stage, too. I wish I'd had more time with him. He was gorgeous and talented. Now I'm sad.

judy judy judy
Judy, Judy, Judy
Judy, Judy, Judy... Judy Konos is the one I mean
Not the famous Cary Grant quote, he uttered on the screen
In “Only Angels Have Wings”
His famous quote still rings
But Judy Konos is the one who makes my old heart sing

Patti Smith on How She Writes a Song
Patti::: Because I had so much responsibility to others. If I was writing lyrics to someone’s music, I had responsibility to that musician. I had to project beyond myself and beyond my world out into the greater world. Allen Ginsberg told me, “If you have trouble writing, just write what you mean.” [Laughs] And that’s a good lesson when you’re trying to write a song.

Poet Leonard Cohen
We're very inspired by Folkways Records’ 1957 collection Six Montreal Poets, an album whose collectibility has grown over the years... along with Canadian Leonard Cohen’s fame.
As poet, novelist and most influentially as a late-starting singer-songwriter, Montreal’s most celebrated son left an indelible mark on the past five-plus decades.
Rest in Peace, dear soul... OBIT
