“BOB DYLAN & JOAN BAEZ 1982 ‘Bob and Joan were a couple but had split by the time this picture was taken. It’s at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, a really nice moment. She is the only person who could get away with tousling Dylan’s hair.”

From Leonard Cohen’s final letter to his dying muse, Marianne Ihlen. She died in July 2016, and Cohen followed her shortly after, dying in November 2016.
“Well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.”
— Leonard Cohen
