"I was a 20 year old gay man in Manhattan during the 1980s, and you know what I did? I paid my F*cking Rent!" - a Theater professor of mine on why he hates Rent, or as we call it, "Hipsters in America".

And if that isn't enough, here's two men who weren't even born during the AIDS crisis talking about why Rent's characters are awful human beings, the conflict is cheap, and no one on this production knows how a Bolex works.

And yet, the musical is not a complete waste of time. The same may not be said about this 45 minute episode. Enjoy!
