'Grace' is an amazing album. Buckley is one of the few people who have successfully covered 'Hallalujah' - in fact, there should be a law against covering the song unless you are some kind of musical genius. KD Lang is legal, of course.

it’s been ages since i’ve listened--thanks for bringing it back to me. it’s hard to imagine the kind of musician/voice he would have aged into. a stunning, enormous talent.

You have New York nailed. It’s your champagne in a glass slipper. I love your Didion-esque grasp of the zeitgeist.
