“Hansard’s music was about embracing wonder alongside restlessness, about letting in the light alongside the dark, about trying to sort out the beauty & pain that comes with it all being too much to take.”
Remembering Glen Hansard 🖤

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

Two catastrophic earthquakes have struck Venezuela, devastating communities in a matter of minutes. Homes have been destroyed, families have been torn from their livelihoods, and survivors are facing the unimaginable.

congrats to PTA but this is clearly a make-up win for Boogie Nights and Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love and There Will Be Blood and The Master and Inherent Vice and Phantom Thread and Licorice Pizza and probably also some of those Haim videos too why not
Trump is the American Chávez, but more powerful, with consequences not only for the United States, but for the entire world. He’s not a fascist, he’s a right wing Chavista. And he could very well find a way to remain in power until his death, just as Chávez did.
Nothing said by Trump & admin Ken dolls about returning Venezuela to democracy; he grossly & falsely disses Maria Corina Machado as "unpopular" (so jealous she won Nobel Prize?) & leaves elected Pres. Gonzalez Urrutia unmentioned!!
The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner.
A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.
On this day, 63 years ago, David Lean's magnum opus, "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) premiered in London, U.K.
PLEASE DON'T EVER watch this movie on your phone. A Netflix CEO might suggest otherwise, but he knows nothing about Cinema.
Los ataques de hoy contra César Miguel Rondón demuestran lo mal que estamos en materia de ciudadanía, o en el área del simple raciocinio. La luz está cada vez más lejos, por desdicha.
