I Love Glee! Yep, I Said It!

GLEE was my secret addiction until now, I'm coming out! If you haven't seen Glee you should. Glee is chucked-full cool old music and great new music ripped straight from the charts and dancing. Glee is a musical, comedy/drama and well worth the one hour watch (45 minutes if you watch it on Fox via the link above.) It's a great show!  I love it and yea I'm saying it!

Last night, the focus was on Artie, the male character in a wheelchair, who told his story of becoming a paraplegic at the age of eight in a car accident in which his mom escaped injury but he sadly didn't.  And it was on Kurt, the gay singer that wanted to perform a traditionally female part.

One of the things I <3 about GLEE is it's MESSAGES!  The messages in this episode were great: be true to yourself and handicaps are really handi-Cans. Being a supporter of the Performing Arts, I would love to see more schools with a "Glee" club. 

Despite the controversy regarding the "wheelchair" episode I feel this show has alot of promise and GREAT messages.  Fostering the Arts in our schools is sooooooooo important!  Studies have shown that Music and Math are closely related and that Music can often help struggling students.

One example: PS22 in New York City, if your not familiar, click the link or look them up on YouTube; has taken music to an all new level for students.  They have been recognized by multiple musicians and Hollywood stars for their beautiful performances of many songs.  The kids have gained self confidence and have excelled! Why do these schools have to be the exception rather than the norm? 

I know this post has nothing to do with hair but, as Artists, I think most Hairstylist, Barbers, and pro Groomers can understand the appeal of this show! I wish more schools would embrace the Arts and shhhhhhhh! Don't tell, but, I want hang out and sing and dance with these kids!
