My new favorite

My movie meetup group and I went to see Across the Universe last Saturday, and in our discussion thereafter, I found myself [once again] thinking, "What is this generation going to remember as the great songs of their youth? It's all rap. It's all noise. It's so sad." Yes, I've become my parents. I find myself getting a tear in the eye whenever I hear John Lennon or any of the early Beatles tunes. They were just babies. Sniff.

Then, on second reflection, I think that the only really good original song that I've heard lately is what I could only call The Old Navy Sweater Song. With a little web surfing, I found my new favorite song/artist: Ingrid Michaelson, singer-songwriter from Staten Island who had several songs featured in last season's Grey's Anatomy. The songs are sweet and memorable and singable. Singing--what a concept!
