In 1988, Living Colour released an album that would simmer for nearly a full year before kicking down the door of the standard rock scene with one of the biggest pounding rock anthems of the decade. &#34;Cult of Personality&#34; became their biggest hit and changed the idea of what a rock band should look and sound like. Vernon Reid&#39;s blistering guitars and Corey Glover&#39;s soulful voice, along with some help from Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson, helped push this album over the top.

In the mid sixties a young girl named Suzy Hinton wrote a story about teenage gangs in her school. The story, published while she was just 18, went on to create the Young Adult genre and sell millions of books. In 1983, &#34;The Outsiders&#34; was made under the direction of superstar director Francis Ford Coppola and assembled maybe the greatest young cast in movie history.
