I’m over at eMusic Magazine again — check out my Q&A with Dan Zanes. This is the piece I mentioned last week that practically wrote itself. Here’s one of my favorite quotes from him, in response to a question about so-called hipster parents:

I know hipsters and I know parents, but sooner or later you’re out there
changing a diaper on a park bench, and how hip are you then? Parenting is such a
great equalizer. I had so much invested in being hip when I was in my twenties,
and when I became a parent, it was such a big relief not to have to think much
about that anymore. The thing about being a hipster is that it means there are
people who aren’t hip. When some people are hip, and others aren’t, it limits
the possibilities for true community… I think some people are attaching a little
more to it than is really there.

What a brilliant guy.

PS – In case you missed it, here’s my interview with Zanes from last November. Dan Zanes and I? We go way back…
