Where Len Is Now

I was once talking to a Canadian acquaintance about my love for Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” (my knowledge of Canada is limited for conversational purposes to Len’s “Steal My Sunshine,” the oeuvre of Leonard Cohen and the dental condition of various hockey personalities), and she told me that one evening in Toronto she and her friends were out doing karaoke when members of Len showed up and sang that very song. “Wow,” I responded in my typical asshole way, “it’s great that they could all get off work.” As is so often the case with my chronic attempts at snide humor, I was way off base. This interview with main guy Marc Costanzo — “we spoke on the phone while he went about his day, occasionally pausing our conversation to comment on the price of premium olive oil while grocery shopping” — is delightful, and it sounds like he can take off from work whenever he likes.
