"My headmaster told me to leave school and go and busk. He guaranteed me that, while I might not become a rock star, if I stuck at it I’d make a living." — Glen Hansard At thirteen, Glen Hansard was handed the ultimate permission: to abandon formal dogma and seek his truth on the asphalt of Grafton Street. Decades later, singing "Small Mercies" inside the solemn quiet of the National Library of Ireland, the former busker proved that true poetry does not need a classroom—only the courage to remain unvarnished. Rest in peace to a true Irish troubadour. The song remains.

Thad Matta dreamed of being the head coach at Hoopeston High School. He settled for 21 seasons as a college head coach 😊 The Journey spotlighted the recently retired and former @OhioStateHoops coach's legendary prep career in this 2013 segment 👇
True colors of Coach Matta. Thanks for telling the story.
* STORY TIME * When Coach Matta was hired.. Andy Geiger told him to get rid of me if he ever wanted to be successful… (Said I was a cancer) The current (Interim) staff was trying to get the job permanently, & said I had to get a 4.0 GPA Summer Qtr. to remain on the team…
One of the greatest coaches!
