But none of that means thatRenthas stayed relevant, or even aged well.

(This casting has at least been addressed in Foxs version.)

Given that, again, theyre two straight white guys, it seems to lean towards the latter.

(Yeah, remember that?)

Nothing they do nothing.

And hanging out can be marvelous.

But hanging out does not make you an artist.

A secondhand wardrobe does not make you an artist.

The only thing that makes you an artist is making art.

And that takes the opposite of hanging out.

(Whos to say he didnt back then, though?)

ForRentto aspire to a newHair,that meant fusing rock music with show tunes.

That was already going to be a tricky concept.

(Also two cases of you spelled as U, which I blame on Prince.)

I love Kurt Cobain and Liz Phair.

(Let My Love initiate the Door, and Eminence Front, respectively.)

Even Princes inarguably best work was behind him by 1988.

(just, young composers:Do nottake this as a challenge.)

Lastly, watchingRentpost-internet and mobile is truly a bizarre experience.

(Or at least be described as a problematic fave.)

Thats not even taking into account how these kids lives would be different with cell phones.

I mean, when was the last time you even listened to a voicemail?

Culture moves quickly, and you cant fault something for being a product of its time.

How you measure a year in internet time?

A year on Twitter?

A year of selfies?

But then, neither is making rent.
