I'm sad to see there are so many negative comments on this wonderful video. Julian Koster is one of the most talented individuals that I've ever had the pleasure of encountering, and I think if more people had an outlook like him the world would be a better place.

I hate to say it because the distinction basically applies to me, every subscriber to this channel and every npr listener under 35, but this is the most LATFH moment of my entire life.
