Im watching No Day But Today: The Story of Rent and sometimes I think of how Viv and Jonathan Larson are both kind of similar and both have an earmark in the book of my pyschosocial development.
Julie Larson said in No Day But Today that, "every professional dream [Jon] had came true the day he died."
It reminds me of Dear Viv.
I saw No Day But Today years and years ago, back when I was first into Rent. When Al Larson, Jonathan's dad, died in 2022, I remember being upset. Because NDBT was my first real engagement with other people's grief. Looking back on it, the similarities with Dear Viv are probably why I knew what to expect and why I didn't want to watch it at first.
I don't know. I'm just thinking.
