Best shade: 'Attorney for Cohen estate says it would have considered "You Want it Darker" For RNC

We are surprised and dismayed that the RNC would proceed knowing that the Cohen Estate had specifically declined the RNC’s use request, and their rather brazen attempt to politicize and exploit in such an egregious manner “Hallelujah”, one of the most important songs in the Cohen song catalogue. We are exploring our legal options. Had the RNC requested another song, “You Want it Darker,” for which Leonard won a posthumous Grammy in 2017, we might have considered approval of that song.
