Tupac <3 Tony Danza?

What's up yalls? I just finished watching Tupac: Resurrection. It was pretty interesting. Tupac's tumultuous life story is narrated by none other than Tupac himself. Most of the audio is from a 1996 interview with Tabitha Soren.

Sidenote: What happened to Tabitha Soren?
They should make more films out of her mid-90's interviews...
Like Spin Doctors: Resurrection

Anyway, the film got me thinking about a lot of things. Tupac was only 25 when he died. I'm going to be 25 next month, and there are so many things I have not yet accomplished. Among them:

  • Make a hit record
  • Star in a film with Jim Belushi
  • Get "Thug Life" tattooed across my stomach
  • Befriend Snoop Dogg, and record a couple songs with him
  • Attend a professional boxing match
  • Write a screenplay
  • Pierce my nose
  • Have a weird friendship with Tony Danza


I put this clip from the movie onto YouTube, so you could see what I'm talking about:


And so I researched the Tupac/Tony Danza connection a bit further, and found this:



I wonder why Tupac loved Tony Danza so much... Also, I wonder why Tony Danza loved Tupac so much. I wonder who started this relationship. So many questions unanswered.

In response to your query regarding the whereabouts of Tabitha Soren, I believe that she is married to Michael Lewis - author of Moneyball, Liar's Poker, The Blind Side, among others - and they live in Paris. But I don't think either of these items should prevent anyone from adapting more films from her stirring mid-90s interviews.
