YES! Thank you! Cook GPS to the rescue!

Woman, I sent you a text earlier, yes or no?

what about the boxer brief?

Thanks Mar for bringing that golfing vid over. I haven't watched it yet, just saw David come out in that outfit and its already put a huge grin on my face. I normally don't like it when guys tuck in their shirts, but I really like that look on him, not to mention the colour of the shirt... LOVE IT! He should wear brighter colours more often. Red looks great on him!

A Few Announcements


Hey everyone. Just checking in to give you guys an update on everything...

First off, we are sad to announce that Joey will no longer be playing bass for us. We are certainly sad to see him go, and wish him nothing but the best as he moves on to his next musical endeavor. Our good friend, Monty Anderson, will be filling in for the immediate future while we attempt, amidst the shows ahead, to find a permanent, viable replacement.

Secondly, we will be performing on August 7th in Central Park in NYC, as part of Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series. We will be sharing the stage with Adam and Kris from Season 8 of AI, so be sure to come out early and make some noise.

I really hope we get to see all your faces at the shows we have coming up. The crowds have been great so far, and we can’t thank you enough for supporting us as we go through this crazy experience.

See you soon, kiddos!

P.S. - Be sure to check out Our Lady Peace’s new album, “Burn, Burn”. It’s amazing. Just saying

For every "Archie" fan who's prayed to see "Cookie" get his comeuppance, here's your chance to see David Cook neither win nor place, but show... out of a field of three. The American Idol champ took a couple of golfing buddies to the links at Los Angeles' Griffith Park for an episode of "Pepsi Music Exclusive: Another Side Of..." And Cook is not your new American PGA champion.

"I shot a 51 or 52 today, which sadly enough is actually decent for me," Cook told us after wrapping up a game with Rob Cavallo, his producer, and Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace, his musical hero and songwriting partner. Despite a few tossed clubs, Cook had a fairly good humor about merely playing par while the cameras rolled. But leave a light on for him—he's a very determined loser. "Hopefully I'll get better. I've got to try to catch up with Rob and Raine. They annihilated me today."

Cook is part of the fraternity of rocker-golfers that includes Huey Lewis, Darius Rucker, No Doubt's Adrian Young, Justin Timberlake, and even (believe it or not) Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Any music fan with a memory stretching back to the mid-1970s will remember that the most shocking antic Alice Cooper ever pulled off in his prime was going public with his golf fixation.

"I remember freaking out the first time I got to talk to Alice," says Cook. "I did a radio interview with him not long after the Idol finale. He actually invited me to play, and his scheduling didn't work out. I would love, love, love, love to play golf with Alice Cooper. But for me, what golf represents is just... it's different. I feel like I'll never hit my stride playing golf, and that's actually something that strikes me as a lot of fun—that I'm constantly gonna have to work at this hobby, or lifelong pursuit, or whatever it is. I don't think you'll ever see me on the PGA tour, though."
So it's the hard work aspect that appeals to Cook more than the peaceful feeling some other slumming celebrity golfers cite?

"Absolutely. I love the idea you can play the same course a hundred times and never have the same game. Because that ball, there's a million different places it could land, a million different lies. You're always battling a course, which I think is really interesting."

Cook had never played the course at Griffith Park before, although while in the SoCal area, he's gone through the 18 holes at Lost Canyons in Simi Valley and El Caballero in Tarzana. He reports that he started playing at 12 or 13 "but never really gave it much effort until four years ago." Now he plays a few times a month, largely depending on his tour routing.

Dare we ask whether there are any parallels between swinging a club and, you know, rocking a club?
"There are a few," he says, indulging us. "Whereas you can play a course a different million ways, you can attack a song a million different ways. It's actually really funny. I've watched videos of when we started the Declaration tour and where we ended at, and songs sound different. Just as a band, we've gotten tighter and tried different things. ‘Lie' specifically at the beginning of the tour and the end of the tour doesn't even sound like the same song, which is really cool."

There's "Lie" the song, and lies on a golf course... maybe these disciplines really were separated at birth.
"As a band, we try to keep it fresh for us so that in turn it's fresh for the audience," Cook continues. "We'll noodle with different ideas, different intros, different breaks; we'll extend stuff, shorten stuff. I don't want anybody to come to a show and feel like they're getting the same show they saw last time. So, sure, I think both kind of represent a progression of sorts. Where I shoot now golf-wise as far as score is concerned is quite a bit different than when I started playing. I think where I'm at musically is very different from where I was at when I started playing music."

And the man does know how to dress for the part. No too-cool-for-the-clubhouse black golf duds for him. He's wearing white shoes, the likes of which have rarely been seen on any rocker since the heyday of another celebrity golfer, white buck-wearer Pat Boone. It's a provocatively conservative look for Cook.

"I've been thinking about making this my stage wardrobe," he says, "but 19 and RCA are a little hesitant."

OMG. The pics from Sayreville are HOT. Cook is out to kill us all, ladies..

PICSPAM time! (Pics are courtesy of CookieNookie - I believe they are from WNH)





















Dare I say it? I think we have a new fave tour shirt! Or let's just call this one "fave tour shirt - tour leg 2". hahaha..
