"left without a word" Yeah. :-) I wonder how they even persuaded him to come in the first place...I don't think he enjoys such events in the least.

I agree that Cohen can sing allright, by the way. I like his singing style, specially in the 90's...amazing stuff. He does have a few songs which are not dark and depressing, by the way. He can be quite upbeat on occasion.

Here are 2 people who CAN sing very well, but I hate their singing styles: Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra.

Oh, and Whitney Houston too!!!

Ugh! Have mercy on my suffering ears.
