Okay, Zach, i admit I paid $40 for the soundtrack of RENT based on Seasons of Love, but then the rest of it made its way into my heart as well. I'd forgotten how much of its success Jonathan missed. so sad. but what a gift he gave us!!!

Loving RENT gave also made La Boheme accessible. One time when I was taking care of my opera loving brother in law recovering at MD Anderson in Houston in 2012, I went to the local Target to get the RENT DVD. Might have been befor Netfix and streaming. I had to get down on the floor and look UNDER the rack but I found their only copy. And we watched it togehter, he rather conversative, and Opera being his thing, not rock. He was favorably impressed. Said they got every beat right Needliess to say, we lit his candle that night! He went on to full recvoery and remisison from bone marrow cancer. Thanks for this mement with Jonathan!!!
