See, THAT is the Raúl I love. Not the one having fanboygasms over Spring Awakening. And yeah, it was really nice to hear him say something new, rather than repeat himself for the fiftieth time.
Yeah, heh, as soon as my mom was going on about it, I knew I was sorry I didn't get up. I think one of the only times she's said anything nice about him in the past year or so is when she was talking TO him. Immediately after the show, she was so wow-ed by the performance that she actually went to tell him he was wonderful.

Usually it's, "... why is he making that noise?"
A work of art is an invitation to love.
