I've mentioned a few times that I am not an American Idol fan and don't watch it. Therefore I don't see what happens on the show. I do run upon a few things about it in the news, but I usually don't pay them much attention because I am not interested in anything involving American Idol.
There have been a very few times that something in the news about American Idol has caught my eye and I just saw something about David Cook that got my attention. Those of you who are American Idol fans might already be aware of this.
It is about his older brother, Adam Cook, who has brain cancer. I do remember seeing something somewhere where David Cook mentioned that his brother has had cancer for 10 years.
This is a good human interest story about how people came together to make it possible for Adam Cook to be able to make it from Indiana to California to watch his brother perform on American Idol.
Knowing that his brother was on his mind during all of his American Idol run had to keep David Cook worried and probably gave him a little more incentive to win.
Here is an article about this. The article isn't very long
