MTV 41 Years Old, Wow!
MTV is an American cable channel that launched on August 1, 1981.
The fact it’s been 41 years ago makes me feel a certain way. I’m going to say it was better back in my day when it was about music videos and culture. Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Madonna, Van Halen, Duran Duran, Whitney Houston, Pat Benatar, and so many more influenced the hearts and minds of so many youths.
Happy Birthday, MTV.

Rent, The Movie
What a beautiful, powerful, and tragic musical. This story is about surviving every day, being yourself, the AIDS/HIV, and mostly about love is timeless. The cast is super talented most of whom were in the Broadway production. A must-see for everyone.
Also, the world would be better if we could sing and dance spontaneously like in a musical. Maybe that would solve a lot of problems.
