This includes hazing, drugs, partying, and figuring out what you're gonna do for the rest of your life. It consists of struggles that every teen still has trouble with.

Do you like good food? Do you have soul? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should follow your nose to Souley Vegan, a restaurant specializing in vegan versions of your favorite comfort foods. The inside of the restaurant is white and modest, paintings of famous soulful people like Ella Fitzgerald line the walls and there's a live band on some Friday nights.

Adam Sandler is undoubtedly one of the best current actors in comedy today, and his partnership with Kevin James, in
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry, was no exception to this fact. The movie centers around two firemen, Chuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James). Although the two are quite good friends, they are also quite different. Chuck is a ladies man, living on his own, who enjoys nothing more than having a good time. On the contrary, Larry is a widower, a father of two children, and is constantly devoted to being the best family man that he could possibly be.

From wikipedia:
Booker Little, Jr (2 April 1938 – 5 October 1961), was an American jazz trumpeter and composer.
Despite his premature death from kidney failure at the age of 23, Little made an important contribution to jazz. Stylistically, his sound is rooted in the playing of Clifford Brown, featuring crisp articulation, a burnished tone and balanced phrasing. He is considered to be one of the first trumpet players to develop his own sound after Clifford Brown.
