Hallelujah

[1978 NYB]

The Saturday after the presidential election SNL opened with Kate McKinnion dressed as Hilary and played a song (Hallelujah) on the piano. I enjoyed her performance and she is talented. I thought is was a nice concession to the outcome of the election. I enjoy the political satire of SNL like a lot of people do....however....I'm a realist and I know that to be able to enjoy those freedoms a lot of people since the American Revolution had to stand up and sacrifice to preserve freedom.

I came across this version of Hallelujah and wanted to share it with you....



Kate's version as played on SNL....

That song has been covered more than most and although there are several that are quite good, Leonard Cohen did it best.
