This week was the first week in almost a year I actually watched Glee on the night it aired. I have struggled to maintain my interest the last two seasons so usually DVR and either watch later fast forwarding through most.
This weeks edition grabbed my attention for two reasons. First off Chord Overstreet in grey boxer briefs! As my love the show wanes, my lust for Chord only continues to increase. The second reason, maybe even the bigger one was the show was focused on the music of Billy Joel. When I was growing up Billy Joel was a staple in my home. My dad loved him, my older brother really loved him and consequently so did I. Joel's Honesty was one of my staple audition songs back when I pursing theatre.
Although the Glee kids sort of 'lightened' the power, not to mention meaning, of Honesty and Innocent Man, it was still great to see the show honoring Joel's songbook. Given how much attention they bestow upon Britney and GaGa, I am glad they gave some attention to one of the most successful artists of all time.
