Land of the 'Glee'
This summer I watched the glorious pilot episode of “Glee,” a sharp, funny and moving TV show about a charming Spanish teacher’s attempt to start a glee club from a band of high school misfits. When the choir director is fired, Will Schuester seizes the opportunity to relive his own high school years as a member of the school’s 1993 national champion glee club by starting up a new group. But 1993 is a long time ago, and the cheerleaders (or “Cheerios,” as they’re called) rule the high school now.

I’m a Fray’d not!
The video for The Fray’s 2005 breakout single, “Over My Head (Cable Car)” opens with a wide-angle shot of a large brick high school building, a tall bell tower rising over impeccably green grass. The bell rings, and we cut to inside the building, where neatly dressed students stand and start singing. The line of uniformed boys exits the classroom and walks down the hallway. Sun shines through giant windows, and rows of lockers artistically grafittied with the song’s lyrics line the sides of the hall.
