Camera-shy Cohen storms Glastonbury

To the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, where presenter Mark Radcliffe was in raptures over a stunning set by Leonard Cohen. It sounded like the best thing the Radio 2 man had ever seen or heard. Unfortunately Radcliffe reported that laughing Len didn't want any cameras filming the performance - he was worried it might put him off - so BBC2 viewers had to take Radcliffe's word for it, with not even a single verse of Hallelujah to share. Shame. Monkey wonders why the BBC didn't just hide a camera some way off in the distance - like one of those long-distance ones they use in Springwatch - and stick it on the box after Cohen went to bed. He need never have known. We know it doesn't really make up for it, but here's Hallelujah done by Rufus Wainwright and his sister Martha at last year's Glasto. Perhaps it was the cameras that put Martha off halfway through. But they get it back by the end. All together now: "Well maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love, was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you."
