After a technologically induced hiatus, Shannon and Erik are back talking Pulitzer winners. In this case, the mega-smash Rent and its joyous Act I closer, "La Vie Boheme." Does Benny get a bad rap? Is Shannon a Roger or a Mark? And what, exactly, was gay.com? The main clip is from the 1996 Original Broadway Cast Recording. All clips are used in accordance with the Fair Use Exemption for criticism and commentary.
