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.

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 …

No need to ask David Cook who received the loudest applause at the Aug. 7, 2009 American Idol Tour stop in Atlantic City. He heard the ovation for this year’s runnerup Adam Lambert compared to that given to winner Kris Allen.
“Yes, but last year I always felt like Archie (season 7 runnerup David Archuleta) got more response on the Idol Tour than I did,” Cook told IdolChatter in a phone …

It’s been almost 15 months now and David Cook still doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get the contrived rivalry between himself and American Idol competitor David Archuleta.
“We always felt that it was funny when we were on the show,” Cook told IdolChatter, “that everyone tried to create this ‘David vs. David’ thing. We just didn’t get it.”
The two Davids were the last contestants standing on AI Season 7 and Cook …

Friday night (Aug. 14th) marks David Cook’s 100th concert stop when he performs at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tenn.
“I always thought it would be like cramming 15 guys in a bus and hoping we had enough gas to get to the next stop,” Cook told IdolChatter this morning.
“Now we have this great bus, we have a great crew and I’m having the time of my life.”
Cook concert No. 103 …

So, we are all set for Season 9.
Simon got a ka-jillion dollars a year, Randy was already set, Ryan got a nice bump in salary, Kara got her pittance and Paula was shown the door.
I’m still trying to figure out why anyone should care. We watch the show, the advertisers come (oh, my, do they ever come as sometimes it seems like there is more advertising than show), Fox makes …
