I think he mentioned Buckley because he first heard it sung by him - and he mentioned his untimely death.

Sometimes the first version of a song that you hear - especially if you fall in love with it - is the standard that everything else has to meet.

In my case this was Cohen - but nobody ever accused him of having a great voice. The lyrics though - oh yeah. I actually fell in love with Suzanne in 1966 at the age of 18, and have been following him ever since.
