This week’s essay of the week made me think of this song from Bob Dylan.

Johny Cash did not write the words to the song Hurt (although he did change them some to suit his own beliefs). But you would never know that from watching the music video. It has got to be one of the most artistic and well done music videos ever produced. Embedding for this clip has been disabled, so you will have to follow the link.

The week’s essay of the week comes from Gene Logsdon’s blog and it is called Bouncing In The Wool Sack.
