Besides It Would Still Be All Right

Am I the only man who spent much of my Sunday watching, in succession?

• The World Cup final (Zidane - I like you more after the head butt)
• Project Runway Season One Marathon
• Dave Chappelle's "Lost Episode" (I wrote this song in '94. Funny)

In between this relentless TV watching, I saw the following:

• Bill Clinton's SUV
• 3 girls dressed as pirates walking down the street
  
• The comedian/actor Louis C.K. coming out of Blockbuster

They're trying to pull me back in. Will they?

The new Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man movie is nice but I wish there was more Leonard and just a little less of the other Canadians. On a related note, my top 5 Leonard Cohen songs:

5. Sisters of Mercy

4. Alexandra Leaving

3. First We Take Manhattan

2. Suzanne

1. Famous Blue Raincoat

The song begins:

It's 4 in the morning
The end of December
I'm writing you now
Just to see if you're better
New York is cold
But I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street
All through the evening

The best opening verse ever written.

Have I ever mentioned that I wrote a sequel to this song in 1989?
