The fall of Mark Salling, ‘Glee’ star and Christian songster, arrested on child porn charges December 30, 2015 [...] Though Salling. who played Noah “Puck” Puckerman on “Glee,” had defenders — “Michael Jackson was an innocent man, the world’s false accusations ruined him,” one tweet reminded [ https://twitter.com/Cali4niaDreams/status/681952416821030913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw ] — the list of celebrities who recover from child porn scandals is not long. And it’s worth remembering that Salling, a Christian musician who once rocked in the name of the lord, wasn’t even supposed to be here. Salling’s love affair with music began with the piano, which he took up at age 5. However, growing up evangelical in Dallas, some genres were verboten. “Madonna was considered the she-devil,” he said in 2010 [ http://dev.hollyscoop.com/glee/glee-cast-channels-inner-madonna.html ]. [...] Indeed, Salling’s pre-“Glee” efforts proved less than radio-friendly. Recorded under the very Christian-rock name Jericho, one of Salling’s tracks, “Yoked Equally,” appears to slight those unwilling to embrace Christ. Chorus lyric: “The heavenly father shines down on me until the day I am yoked equally.” (Those seeking more information on the Christian concept of being “equally yoked” with a partner in faith can begin their exploration here [ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+6%3A14&version=KJV ]). Suffice it to say, Salling contemplates a cross on a hilltop in the video [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYaPXEqJaK4 (next below; with comments)].
