Sorry gang, but this makes me think of the Steelers first and foremost. Everything else is secondary.

Okay, okay, so maybe I overestimated how connected it is to Glee, and (I'm glad to say) underestimated recognition of Journey.

But as for Glee, yes, they've done lots of covers, but "Don't Stop Believin'" was pretty much the theme song for the first season, sung first as the climax of the pilot (which aired in May before the season really got started in September, but which got lots of internet play) again mid-season, and then a third time the high point of Regionals in the Season 1 finale. It was also the first single they ever released, and was used throughout Season 1 in commercials and promos.

LOL.

I admit it -- I love the show. (Or at least loved Season 1. Season 2 was more iffy.)

My name is MysticCat, and I'm a Gleek. I also love Broadway musicals: Sirius XM Channel 72 -- "On Broadway" -- keeps me very happy, and I can have a show tune for almost every occasion.

I am comfortable with who I am.

I have to admit, I don't really get this criticism. I've been in courtrooms lots and lots, and most if not all legal shows bear little resemblance to what trials, or the practice of law, are really like. They'd be beyond boring if they were to true to life. I'd bet doctors can say the same about medical shows and law enforcement types about police shows.

These are fictional shows designed to entertain and tell a story, not documentaries about real life.

Well that's probably part of it for me. I'd rather watch a documentary than reality TV any day. Plus I just think the whole story line is silly. I know a lot of my good friends like it, but I just never got into it. Give me House or Arrested Development or the Big Bang Theory and I'm a happy girl.

Love Big Bang Theory and Arrested Development. (House, not so much.) But I'd rather go to the dentist than watch a documentary. THey bore me to death.

Seriously, everybody has different tastes, and that's fine. It's just that when I hear someone say that they don't like a fictional TV show or movie because "that's not how it really is in real life," I kind of want to say "And that's different from all the other shows how?" But it's all good.

MysticCat, this is the start of a beautiful friendship - I LOVE Glee and can't wait for the movie to come out, and love love love broadway musicals, in fact the Wicked soundtrack is whats in my car stereo right now lol

And to the OP, at my school a club I was in had Don't Stop Believing shirt (and the group who designed the shirts were going for the original song, not Glee) and they did black and had 'Don't Stop Believing' in neon writing on the front and 'In finding a cure' on the back (it was for Relay for Life)

I was thinking you could use "Don't stop believing" on the front and then use the gleek finger "L" as part of your GLO letters - but of course that's pretty impossible unless you rotate it somehow - and do you really want to suggest that you are 'losers'?

I could see that being just adorable for Gamma Phi Beta. I dont think the L would be associated with losers as I think it's just become such a part of the name of the show.
