A Cycling Tour of Clodagh Rodgers, and Other Rabbit Holes

For some reason, I got to thinking about Michael Palin of Monty Python fame tonight.

That led me to find and watch the Monty Python episode called "The Cycling Tour," in which Palin plays a cheerful idiot cyclist who crashes his way through North Cornwall until he ends up in front of a firing squad in Soviet Russia because a food scientists he happened to meet along the way was injured in an auto accident, thought he was Scottish folk singer Clodagh Rodgers, and then a mix of Clodagh Rodgers and Leon Trotsky.

So now I'm listening to Clodagh Rodgers on YouTube, having descended further into a really odd YouTube  wossname . . . rabbit hole.



Michael Palin really does a passable Rosemary Wood too.
