    I like everything Leonard Cohen has ever written or sung. He is just that amazing. Here is his tribute to Janis Joplin(another of my favorites singers). This was done many years ago, as Leonard is about 77 now. He is just a class act. The song is sad b/c love for musicians( he says) was stolen moments in hotels.

    I recall Guy Clark from the 70's. One of his saddest songs was called "brokenhearted people" and I'm putting up the lyrics but I can't find him singing it. All i can find are amateur covers and no one does this song like him.

    Now broken hearted people always seem to drink
    and tryin' to drown those sorrows ain't as easy as you think
    But living with a liar is a hard old way to go
    Laughin' just to keep from crying ain't no way to grow old

    Chorus
    So take me to a barroom driver
    set me on a stool
    If I can't be her man
    I'm damned if I'll be her fool

    They say that whiskey ain't the best way, but then I ain't too smart
    to think I just found out she was lyin' from the start
    So if this is nothing but a bad joke lookin' for a laugh
    hold on to your lampshade darlin' cause I'm looking for a hat

    Chorus

    So get this taxi movin' cause I got no time to lose
    there's no time to be choosy, any old bar will do
    cause I'm lookin' to get silly and I'm lookin' to get loose
    and if that don't get it done darlin', I'll come looking for you

    Chorus
