Rent

I'm not going to say that everyone should go out and see Rent. It's not for everyone. It deals with a lot of topics, not in a gratuitous way, but in a way that might come off as glamorous to people who don't know so much about AIDS, homosexuality, drugs, or what the "starving artist" life is really like (not glamorous.) But I am going to say that you should at least listen to some of the soundtrack. The music is incredible. It conveys a lot of power and really channels the passions of these young artists...the dancer, the musician, the film director, the teacher, the plastic-drum-player... Try out these tracks: One Song Glory (my favorite), No Day But Today, I Should Tell You, and, of course...RENT!
