This guy once sang a cover of "If It Be Your Will" with the rest of the Lost Dogs. It broke me down even when I was young. I think I was well out of high school before I learned that it was actually a Leonard Cohen song. Oh well. Live and learn. Gene's loss was tough to take and I didn't even know him, or half of the music that he had his fingers in. I can only imagine what it's like for those who lived and worked with him. My heart goes out to them today.

"On the bomber's moon

I cut the cost

No waiting for if or mourning the loss"

Skipping over goodbyes.

"Thrown like a lover's stone...now I'm gone."

There are a lot of songs about saying goodbye. On of them says that goodbyes are sad. This one suggests skipping them altogether. The worst goodbye I ever got was "I hate you". It's kind of funny how our final interactions with people are the lasting impressions we have of them — how all of the good times couldn't stop them from being so cruel.

If you could see me now

"Look at me baby, struggling to do everything right. Then it all falls apart..."

I don't know what it is about the Boss lately, but it's yanking my heartstrings like pulling baby teeth.

My best was never good enough
