YAY ALLYSON!!! And I hope your back feels better ASAP.

Does anyone have a link to that site that discusses the use of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah on TV as emotional shorthand,

Sadly, no, but Plei might. I did just post to my LJ that I really want to hear My Chemical Romance do a balls-out cover of it.

I think I would die.

I really want an actual moritorium on any version of Hallelujah for at least 5 years.

There was a link to it in my LJ a while back. Don't have it off the top of my head, but the author came and responded to the discussion, and was actually pretty cool about it.

Concur. It's a No Fly Zone.

MCR will just have to pick another super dramatic emotional song. Maybe they should do a concept album about a guy dying of cancer. That sounds dramatic.

In lieu of that, they should cover "Stay Together" by Suede.

This is actually what made me think of it. That song is so weird because I have loved it, and it has made me cry, and now it has been used in so many montages that it actually makes me laugh out loud when I hear/see it juxtaposed with "heart-rending images.

Woo, go Allyson!

So I'm going to a concert tonight, and as I was checking the venue site to make sure I knew the address, I stumbled over this:

Late shows (beginning at 9pm or later) are 18 & over; to enter Metro you must show 2 forms of federal or state ID (drivers license, state ID, passport, etc.) as proof of age.

Two forms of ID? Who has two forms of ID on them?

Sophia, is it this? [link]

I don't know if it's a coincidence that you are thinking of the song when it was on AI last night.

Yay, Allyson!

Wow! Congrats, Allyson!
