this is something that really ticks me off.  i hate when people decide to be shocking and controversial just because of the effect in has on other people.  the source of my rant today is MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY.

i passed by tucker theatre today and there was a sign up advertising the fall musical:  The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  now, i'm not going to lie and act like i've seen the play, i haven't, but i do know the controversy of which it contains.  now, one might think, ahh, great musical.  however, i think...another musical like this?  last year the musical department did cabaret (which by the way, was far from exceptional.)  so here we are dealing with another musical that contains controversial stuff, for lack of a better word.
there are better  musicals out there that can be done:  42nd street, les mis, shakespeare plays with a modern twist,  hairspray, pippin, joseph and the tecnicolor dreamcoat, etc.  but they seem to choose differently.
GIVE US SOMETHING BETTER TO WATCH!

that's all i feel like talking about right now.  that's my rant. 
peace
