Leonard Cohen : The Darkness
Old smoky throat has a new album out on February 3 called Old Ideas, his first new record in eight years. The lead single is slinky and jazzy – maybe a little too jazzy, to be honest, but let’s forgive him his geriatric foibles and bathe in the still shiver-inducing romantic decay that he weaves with his words: “I caught the darkness / It was drinking from your cup / I said is this contagious? / You said, just drink it up.” Yowser.

Mercutio from "Romeo and Juliet", "A plague on both your houses" is a useful line to this day.
I like Brutus from 'julius caesar', an honorable man led down the garden path by those around him.
