Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna
The much-talked-about Madonna episode of "Glee" premieres on Tuesday, April 20th. The cd and digital versions of the album that goes with it also debut that day (see lace-gloved hand above).


Looking at the cover of the upcoming TV Guide that hits news stands this Thursday (the 15th) I can't help but think most of the cast were either still in diapers or yet to be born when Madonna first burst onto the scene. They didn't go to school dressed like Madonna (when it wasn't Halloween!) because it was the style or hear "Like A Virgin" on the radio when it was still in the Top 40.




It's funny...my generation probably will always think of their Madonna as the one who wore leather and lace (I could never have gone to school and carried that look off like some of my classmates--including my sister!--did so well.) And a kid in high school in the early 90s has the Madonna who wore underwear over her outer wear..and today's kids have...extremely muscular and very slender Madonna who knows her way around a guitar and a riding crop:)

Out of view in the TV Guide cover is Jane Lynch dressed to the nines as this Madonna (wish I could have found the WHOLE cover):


 (Well, maybe she's always been muscular?) You'll get to see Lynch's Madonna next week if you watch the show!
