Anybody else a huge "Rent" fan?
B/f was justifiably, I guess, upset last evening when he drove up to find an unfamiiar truck in my driveway. Nice man I met last weekend who I thought I'd never see again. Anyhow, I've been listening to the soundtrack tonight and this is the song that fits not only my current disposition, but my for-EVAH disposition: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yqN-xNUcJpQ

Does anybody else here love the musical? I'm addicted, and I freaking HATE musicals.

1. No
I love musicals, and bought the soundtrack to Rent when it came out. Listened to it exactly once and hated it, and never listened to it again. Sounded like a bad high-school play to me.

3. You must be killed.
You can't listen to a soundtrack and enjoy the freaking songs? You have to see the play/movie. Rosario Dawson may change your mind about "Light My Candle." But, ah.... it is not my place to enlighten... :P

5. Most musicals I've fallen in love with
I did so through the soundtrack. It's how us little gay boys learn about the world.

6. Yet, there must be exceptions to the rule.
Sometimes context is everything. I believe I can generalize about gay boys, too. :hug: :loveya:

7. Saw it on (or just off, I forget) Broadway. VERY good.
And I'm not exactly fond of musicals. Rent and Sweeney Todd are about the only ones I liked.
