Gregg Henry, who played Logan’s dad Mitchum Huntzberger on Gilmore Girls, guest starred as Quinn Fabray’s dad on this week’s episode of the new Fox show Glee. This week’s episode seemed heavy on the Gilmore shout-outs, including the cast singing a Paul Anka song “(You’re) Having My Baby“ and according to one of our Twitter friends, Quinn (who is currently pregnant)...

One thing I’ve loved about “Glee” is that its followers – or Gleeks – are immensely passionate about the storyline and the characters. On Show Tracker we get numerous comments on the show, and it’s clear you all are watching...

Once again, Glee has hit it out of the park for another home run episode. Mr Schuester gives the definition of Ballad as “stories set to music, that is why they are the perfect storm of self expression”. A song style that is synonymous with what this series, in particular, this episode is all about. Mr. Schuester splits [...]

Up to now, Glee has sort of tip-toed around being a musical, keeping the songs primarily performance-based, with lyrical ties not overtly specific to the moment. "Ballads" is the first episode that really can't be called anything but a musical, with every song having overt literal meaning to the scene at hand. And if there was any question, Rachel set us straight at the end. "Just listen...

How much do you miss Lorelai Gilmore? Not the Lorelai of the final seasons of Gilmore Girls . I’m talking about the original Amy Sherman-Palladino Lorelai who exchanged machine-gun-fast, pop-culture-packed dialogue with daughter Rory. I’m talking about the Lorelai who was quirky and cute and awkward, not the Lorelai who was wishy-washy and selfish and more than a little irritating. (What...

Number 6 - Diana by Paul Anka Not one of my favourite songs, but memorable for one reason. It must have been a sunny day in the summer holidays of 1957, when the record was released, that Mum took my brothers and I on one of our many visits to Kensington Gardens, a short bus ride up Kensington High Street. I have a vivid memory of walking into the park and hearing some music. As we passed the source,...

During my mid-life career transition, many of my former students recommended to me following the travails of Jeff Shalit, something I have in fact been doing over the last years, as I have blogged, often linking to his excellent posts at his generally fine blog, Recursivity . But he has a post that baffles me now. I invite my reader to go and listen. All I hear is casual and useless cruelty, total...

Gentle-rock softy crafts a pop-standards beauty for the Paul Anka lover in your home. The tendency among rock fans might be to dismiss David Mead as a lightweight on his new album, not with respect to his obvious prodigious ability, but for the softness of his music. One can imagine, for instance, the indie-rock community disparaging Mead's winsome piano-and-acoustic-guitar ballads as too precious,...
