I'll be covering a bunch of tour threads for FoolsApril64 while she's traveling and otherwise engaged. Since I don't have her super-duper admin privileges, I can't do the cool spoiler tags to protect setlist spoilers in the thread. So instead, if they leak, I'll post them here:

It's no secret that debut albums from American Idol winners (and runners-up) are typically assembly-line productions that are rushed to market with pre-processed hits and little to no input from the artists themselves. But 'David Cook' the album stands out (much as the man himself did on the show) as clearly the most introspective and eclectic debut ever to come from the Idol franchise.

How typical of me that my first DCO blog post does not find me waxing rhapsodic over David's voice or his wit or his forearms (though I'm wont to do that on occasion as well). Instead I'll be a bit more pragmatic, and will use this blog to post the full-text from the article below, which has gotten some discussion in the Number Nerds Thread.

Genius move to include your fans in the exercise of internalizing a song through the lyrics before ever hearing a note of the melody. I know there's been a lot of speculation about whether this is a David Cook composition or a collaboration with one of the many songwriters mentioned in the past few months, or whether this is indeed a song originally written by/for Chris Cornell. But right now, just like during Mariah Carrey week, it doesn't matter for whom the song was originally written. If you can live in and inhabit the lyrics in a way that suits you, the song belongs to you. -

Adam sounds like such a positive, resilient guy, and that obviously speaks volumes about the way you raised him. Hang in there during this scary time, and know that there are people here who have you and your family in our thoughts.

Polarbrrr and khatoun rock my world
I used to have all the performances in HD until my crappy Dell lappy bit the dust and ate them all in the great hard-drive crash of 2008. Now I am happily downloading again as fast as they are posted, and will immediately burn multiple copies to DVD so I am never without them again. I especially love that you are including the video packages and judges comments, since the iTunes versions I bought to have on my iPod do not include them. Thank you thank you thank you for performing this valuable service to Cook's fans!
