This month’s issue of Rolling Stone magazine (on the COVER no less) calls “Glee”, a TV show about a high school choir that stars LHHS grad Mark Salling, ‘awesomely gay’ —that’s gay in the way of Broadway musicals and Barbara Streisand (awesome indeed).
Below, watch the sneak preview of Salling’s solo performance — a rendition of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline”, which will no doubt be the highlight of this Wednesday’s episode of “Glee”, not to mention a You Tube hit and an iTunes big seller. Rolling Stone also included a web exclusive featuring cast interviews, in which Salling says he liked doing "Sweet Caroline" because it’s one of his mom’s favorites. (Mom, Condy Salling, by the way, works at Lake Highlands Junior High).
I am rooting for this show partly because of it’s LH connection (I spoke with Salling’s father, John, a few months back and he is a down-to-earth, nice-as-can-be dude, and his mom, quoted here, is humble, and it just seems she gets it ) plus, as a closet show-tune lover myself, I think I just might clandestinely love "Glee" in all it’s campy "Rocky Horror Picture Show"-esque gayness.
