I consider it a major victory when I can get my mother to admit that any art produced in the last 15 years is better, more accurate or even more original than something made when she was young. She is deeply biased about the awesomeness of her generation.
On a recent car trip when I finally got to control the music, unprompted, she said, "Wow. This is really good. I think it's even better than the Van Morrison."
Sacrilege, Mother! I don't know if I'd go that far.
But thanks, Glen Hansard, for being awesome and helping me score one of my first points.
