Have just been listening to a bunch of his earlier songs. Suzanne still makes me tear up after almost 50 years and there's not much that will do that to me. Started the year with losing David Bowie, now this and a bunch in between, not been a good year.

Yes, that was some sad news to wake up to this morning. And indeed, like Whulsey already said, musically, it has been an utterly miserable year so far. Bowie, Prince, now Leonard Cohen.
Then there also has been a truckload of other sad stories and events from all over the world and unfortunately I have had my own fair share of misery too, this year.
I can safely state 2016 won't go into my books as a very good year. And I fear that what's left of it won't make up for it.

But hey! The sun is shining here. I guess I'll take a walk later today and let the autumn breeze blow the dark thoughts out of my head.

Be careful what you think. I've learned from personal experience that when you think "This year has been the worst one", the next year takes it as a challenge.
