Remembering Irish singerβsongwriter Glen Hansard
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
Irish musician Glen Hansard, best-known for his band The Frames and his part in the 2007 film βOnce,β died July 29 in a motorcycle crash. He was 56. Hansard got his start busking in the streets of Dublin. Ironically, it was his headmaster who urged him to drop out of school to pursue music. He spoke with Terry Gross in 2008, with his βOnceβ co-star MarkΓ©ta IrglovΓ‘. Their song from the film, βFalling Slowly,β won an Oscar for Best Original Song.Β
Also, Kevin Whitehead pays tribute to Tony Bennett, who would have been 100 next week, and film critic Justin Chang reviews βI Want Your Sex.βΒ
