Did You Hear Leonard Cohen Is Dead?

I know he's beloved and all that, but I got really tired of him on Friday. I had to spend the day in the car on Friday (Inkerman, represent!) so I got to listen to wall-to-wall Leonard Cohen all day.

Seriously, the day went like this:

• Thursday night: Twitter: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday 7AM news: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday 7:10AM morning show: OMG Leonard Cohen is dead, let's talk about how much of an impact he had on us for 15 minutes and then play two of his songs.
• Friday, 7:30AM headlines: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday, 8;15AM CBC morning show: Leonard Cohen is dead. Let's play one of his tracks.
• Friday, 8:30AM news: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday, 10AM news: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday, 10:05AM, Q: Leonard Cohen is dead. Here's an interview that a previous host had with him.
• Friday, noon news: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday, 12:10 CBC phone-in: Leonard Cohen is dead. Call us and tell us how that's affecting you.
• Friday, 1PM news: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday, 1:05 PM: Leonard Cohen is dead, so we've cancelled our usual 1PM to 3PM programming to bring you a repeat of a special we did about him several years ago.
• Friday, 3PM news: Leonard Cohen is dead.
• Friday, 3:10PM, afternoon drive: Leonard Cohen is dead. Let's talk about that for 10 minutes and then have the listeners request rarely-played tracks of his all afternoon.

Yeah. I actually didn't listen to the meat of all that, once I learned that Leonard Cohen was back on the menu, I jumped back into my phone's bluetooth for music. But still.

In other news, Leonard Cohen is still dead.
