The end of “Glee” from Fox last night (5/19/09).
I particularly enjoyed this show b/c of its quirkiness. We won’t be able to see the next episode (or the rest of the season for that matter) until the Fall… but this was one heck of an audition for the show.
It has a lot of lessons overlayed… people normally at odds with each other (cheerleaders and choir geeks) recognizing greatness when they see it… misfits coming together under a common mission… students and teachers following something they’ve become passionate about.
Music sets my soul on fire… the way it can make me feel after a day at work (think Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top), on the way into work (think Beautiful Day by U2), when I wake up (think Clocks by Coldplay), when I make dinner (think Dreamcatcher by Andy McKee), when I’m about to waterski (think Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet), when I’m about to go to sleep (think Overkill by Colin Hay). It’s a magnificent, powerful, intimate connection that I have with no other art. This was an especially good rendition of “Don’t Stop Believing.” Hope you enjoy!
