SAN FRANCISCO – As I was headed from paying for my parking in the structure diagonally across from The Fillmore Tuesday night, I overheard one guy say to another: “I don’t think he was ready for The Fillmore.”
Well, maybe they went to different concert than I did.
Or maybe they weren’t referring to David Cook. Maybe it was a buddy of theirs.
But one thing is for certain David …

Word is that David Cook is enjoying the Bay Area and that he took in a Giants baseball game over the long Labor Day weekend at AT&T Park.
Why wouldn’t he enjoy it here? And tonight’s show at the historic Fillmore ought to make him even more enthusiastic about the place.
You just have to figure he’ll be pumped up to put on a great show.
We’ll see.
Check back on Wednesday for a …

All right, in my grubby little hand I am now holding a ticket to the Sept. 8, 2009 David Cook concert at the Fillmore in The City. To those of you outside NorCal, that’s San Francisco.
The staging at the California State Fair, where Cook and his buds performed on Aug. 21, 2009, is OK for what it is … but face it, it’s a fairgrounds. If I want to hear …

The real question wasn’t why did David Cook get a dog despite the fact that he was on the road most of the time. The real question was what’s up with the name?
Cook recently acquired a Scottish terrier. So far, so good. Nice breed. Small dog. Fits nicely into a tour bus with an American Idol.
So, what does Cook name this beast? Dublin.
What?
Yes, Dublin. Scottish dog named after an Irish …

SACRAMENTO — There’s no doubt that pulling off a concert date perfectly – as a performer – is somewhat of a crapshoot.
So many things have to go right and nothing can go wrong. And when you agree to set up shop pretty much anywhere you are asking for trouble.
“We don’t have a plan regarding venues,” David Cook told IdolChatter recently of his concert dates. “Pretty much anyplace that will open …

The blog world and the traditional newspaper world are … well, two different worlds.
Many IdolChatter readers don’t and never will see the print edition of The Press Democrat on August 21, 2009. But I thought you might enjoy reading a story advancing David Cook’s appearances Friday night in Sacramento and next month in San Francisco.
Some of the story, diehard IdolChatter readers have seen already, some parts you haven’t.
Enjoy the story and …

David Cook’s athletic career is legendary …. sort of.
As a left-handed pitcher in American Legion level baseball (high school age), Cook’s exploits on the diamond took an abrupt halt. But not before he staked out a claim to fame.
Cook was on the mound one day in Missouri when up to bat came Albert Pujols. Pujols, who had hit 39 home runs for the St. Louis Cardinals entering Thursday’s game, has …

For his older brother, David Cook did what he does best. He wrote and sang a song.
It’s called Permanent.
“And I think that song,” Cook told IdolChatter in a phone interview last week, “is gonna be a cornerstone song for me.”
Adam Cook, 36, fought brain cancer for 11 years before he passed away last May 2. Prior to his passing, David had composed and recorded Permanent for Adam.
“I thought it would …
