Ok, so I was tagged by Stellargirl.. and because I love her so much, I'm gonna break my rule on forwards and do this thing: Rules: 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about

It has been the best movie I've seen this year. Perhaps I'm a sucker for great music and the artist's journey.. but for those who want to believe in the saving powers of faith, of music and love – this is the movie for you.
