On Thursday, Oct. 29th, I was invited by Red Bull's representative for SHSU to attend the Red Bull Soundclash. I had never been to an event quite like this, being that I mostly frequent local shows with small audiences. I must say that this night was spectacular and engaging to the senses.

More often than not, superstardom in Hollywood doesn't pan out for actors. In some cases, actors ascend to the ranks of being number one on the call sheet but find that they aren't cut out to carry movies.

Not many musicals carry the lofty expectations of Rent. A 12-year run on Broadway and a subsequent Hollywood butchering have placed the play firmly in the American pop- consciousness, and the play brings a cast of memorable characters and strong voices.
