“Who are you wearing?” This question is often heard being yelled at celebrities – movie stars, singers, or people who are famous simply for being famous – when they attend awards ceremonies, movie premieres, or other gala festivities for the famous. The celebrities will dutifully reveal the names of the designers: Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Andre Kim, Donna Karan. The celebrities dutifully reveal the names because the designers usually give their creations to them freely, not only for advertising, but because the designers know that we common people want to dress like uncommon people
The email I received from Ben last November took me completely by surprise. A rather nice surprise since I had only seen Ben once since we were kids and that was on his 21st birthday. I don’t remember much about that night if truth be told; 21st birthday parties tend to be like that. My last clear memory of Ben is of he looked aged 12 in 1984 when his parents moved him to far away Melbourne to a school for “troubled boys.” I wouldn’t describe him as a troubled boy, at least not from the perspective of one his mates.

In a little musical instrument shop in Ireland, a woman playing piano and a man playing guitar sing songs. They don’t know each other, but they share two things very certainly: they love music and can play a musical instrument.

Later, the woman and the man meet again and they pour all their energies into making a recording in a small recording booth for their first album. Those two moving scenes are from the movie Once, which I saw on November 3. A few days later, when the deep impression of Once had faded,
