Halestorm’s “Here’s To Us” will be featured on tonight’s episode of Glee. That’s a real thing that’s happening, everyone. Whether you like it or not.
Okay, look: I know Glee may not be your thing. It’s not my thing either. And I don’t say that as someone who’s never seen a single episode; I’ve tried to watch it, and… I just don’t “get” Glee.
But Stormers, it’s time to calm the rage. There’s an old saying: “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” Like Glee or not, people, this is exposure for Halestorm. This is millions of people hearing their song, some of whom will seek out the original and love it. This is also Glee fans discovering there’s more to music than just what’s usually on Glee. This is Atlantic and In De Goot throwing some weight behind Halestorm, which just goes to show how confident they are that this band and the new album are worth their time, effort and money. Even if you hate Glee, even if you hate Glee’s version of “Here’s To Us,” there is no scenario in which this song being on this show is a bad thing for Halestorm. And it’s not like Lea Michelle is personally coming to your house to delete your copies of the original version; it’s still there, great as ever, and no cover is ever going to change that.
So please, curb the hate. It’s not helping anyone. Worst case, this will be something that years from now, Halestorm fans can get together over a round of drinks and laugh about.

I don’t know how they’re going to do that. There’s 5 f-bombs in that song, and it will sound ridiculous and fake without them in it. I love that they’re covering Halestorm, but I really wish they would have picked a different song.
