David Cook’s Crown
I’ve been watching all season, and I just noticed that DC is either left-handed or likes playing his guitar backwards. The guitar, incidentally, is his brother’s with the initials “AC” (Andrew Cook).

Does American Idol Exploit Mentally Ill?
That’s the question on my mind today after watching the season premiere of “American Idol”, which broadcast the first round of auditions last night.

Sometimes they put through some of theContinue reading “Does American Idol Exploit Mentally Ill?”
