It’s upsetting, almost enraging, that he died the night before what would be the culmination of all his years of hard work. That’s the ultimate curse, to work tirelessly for something and then never get to see its impact in the world.

@Ms-k1989 2 года назад

I’m glad he knew he was meant to change the world, and he was able to. I’m so sad though that he didn’t get to see it through

@corey-bird3489 2 года назад

@@Ms-k1989 I just listened to the honestly haunting recording of him singing One Song Glory and it was like he knew and accepted it. I didn’t see Rent until I was 16 and it’s message falls like a mourning veil and my high school sweetheart at the time told me he was in his kitchen making tea and he didn’t even feel pain. The sort of thing that makes you count your footsteps or your breath. As if his work on this planet was done and he was ok with “come what may.” It’s hard to tell where bitter ends and sweet begins until we make the choice to observe and if only we could know what ripple effect we truly have. I express myself on my channel so whatever sharpens making every second count... I hope it makes any positive experience difference to you as well.

@YaYa-ke1zr 2 года назад

It brought the cast, friends, family comfort to know that he saw the final rehearsal just as it would be performed and he was told (by industry folks) that Rent was a hit… so he knew. It seems like he had always known but it was confirmed the day before. Still sucks though.

@sazstetson8737 2 года назад

‘what is a legacy? it’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see. I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me.’ This line from Hamilton always reminds me of Jonathan and his impact he left upon the world. Without him, we’d never have so many other beautiful musicals, people’s stories would never be told. Jonathan Larson never got to see what impact he had on this world. But we all feel it.

@janetnjau397 2 года назад

"America you great unfinished symphony you sent for me" I loveee this song! And you're right the words perfectly capture what Jonathan did for musical theatre. Heart breaking

@ClassicDepravities 2 года назад

When I visited NYC for the first time in 2010, one of the stops that i just HAD to go to was the real Life Cafe where jonathan had written a lot of Rent. The renthead wall was this shelf with 20 or 30 binders on it, all of them full of notes and tributes from the Rentheads who had come before me. I got to leave my mark, and I'm glad I did because it's not there anymore. It's gone. Jonathan Larson is one of my heroes and I will never be able to thank him enough for the character of Angel. Rent helped me discover who I was as a transgender man, and I owe so much to it.

Wilson’s voice is so beautiful ❤️ this musical allowed me to come to terms with my sexuality, so really thank you Jonathan

@corey-bird3489 2 года назад

It’s not just sexuality that isn’t controlled, it’s the energy of purity. My high school sweetheart who introduced me to this movie wouldn’t tell me she was struggling with her sexuality and I blamed myself until I found out through friends that time was just too precious to risk making me unhappy and she learned that from this. Nowadays I have forgiven and try to make every second of every expressive video on my channel count. I hope my energy makes a similar difference for you, friend.

Let's see "Rent" talk about bombing all the prisons in the USA & the world to free all prisoners Let's see "Rent" talk about ending the forced breeding & holocaust of factory farming. Let's see "Rent" talk about free speech pornography. Let's see "Rent" talk about war strategy between nations & within nations. When "Rent" or any other stupid musical does that, then you can claim it "talks about anything: nothing is off limits". Until then, it's just entertainment. Stop deluding yourself into thinking entertainment is anything more than that or does anything more than that.

@Lil_Angry_Bitch 5 лет назад

Rent was very controversial when it opened on Broadway because it gave a human face to taboo subjects people didn't want to talk about like AIDS, drugs, homosexuality, Homelessness, etc. Things that real people faced and could relate to. 20 years later they are now able to perform Rent on National Network TV and actually talk about these subjects without the stigma. Rent has done a lot more to help society more than you have Im sure.

@anaflaviarg 5 лет назад

also, entertainment is the only form of education that enters some people's mind, so yes, when something that talks about an important subject for society gets attention, it is more than entertainment
