Video Poetry (Hallelujah edition)

I think it’s time again for a little Leonard Cohen Hallelujah action … it’s been just about 8 months since I posted Allison Crowe’s version of the song, and about 17 months since I posted the lyrics I’ve been able to determine from various different versions.

Rest Day

I don’t know what it is, but part of me really wants to see just about anyone besides Cadel Evans take the yellow jersey in Paris this year.

I’ve never been able to figure out what it is, but something about Evans rubs me the wrong way; and I just don’t want him to win.
