It’s Culture, Dummy!

Remember how Mom used to yell at you to throw away your Nirvana record and put some classy music on your stereo? Just us? Well, now's your chance to prove to your parents that all that money spent on music-appreciation classes didn't go to waste. Tosca , Puccini's relatively convoluted love story, contains such chart busters as "E' buona la mia Tosca" and "Presto, su! Mario!" Okay, so it's not the Beatles, but we guarantee if you take a date with you, they'll be impressed by your cosmopolitan sense of culture and may potentially consider changing their relationship status on MySpace. How you choose to continue the charade is up to you.
