David Cook: the kindhearted "smug"
With all the press on Kara DioGuardi joining American Idol Season 8 as judge ( Yes, never heard of her either; she's reportedly a Grammy-nominated songwriter or something ), I Googled Season 7 winner David Cook to check on what's happening with him lately and stumbled upon a blog by Chris Sligh, a Season 6 hopeful telling a story on how a really nice guy DC is. Fellow AI alum Luke Menard , who's stricken with cancer, recently held a fund-raising concert to help pay for his medical bills. DC sent a signed guitar to be sold at an auction.
