'American Idol' winner is embodiment of the overwhelming majority of people in this country, whom I will never understand
To put it in much clearer terms: I do not understand the phenomenon of David Cook because David Cook is pretty much everything I am not. He is a former frat guy turned bartender, the kind of guy who willingly chooses to perform songs by Switchfoot and Collective Soul and proudly proclaims his undying affection for Our Lady Peace. He sings in an earnest, gruff, decidedly weathered voice, not unlike the kind you hear all over rock radio or in a Chevy Truck commercial. If you squint funny, he looks a whole lot like Chris Daughtry, only with more hair. He has probably never cared what a blog has to say (if he's ever read one), and he likely still has an AOL e-mail address. He is a Kansas City Royals fan.
He is a Rock-and-Roll Red State. He is Rolling Thunder across the Fruited Plains. He is SUVs and flag-waving and the American Dream. He is basically the living, breathing embodiment of the overwhelming majority of people in this country, whom I do not, cannot and — let's face it — will not understand. Not ever. He makes me realize just how detached I am with reality and how unimportant I am. And that makes me sort of hate myself. And this country. Sort of.
Let me point out ... I mean the concept of him, not the actual man. Cook seems nice enough. He has cool facial hair, and he did a killer job on Lionel Richie's "Hello." But it's what he means as a whole — the ideals and social forces he represents — that frustrate and, well, sort of terrify me.

It looks like a peanut butter & jelly pot pie. I want one though :)
It actually looks pretty good. And they take the crust off for you! Thank you, Smuckers! ;)
I know right!? Guys like him make me want to move to Oklahoma.
LOL!!! Of course you want one, peanut butter and jelly pot pie sounds like the greatest food ever! I'm surprised Marie Callendar's hasn't come out with one yet.
They are in the freezer section and you put them on the counter for 10 or so minutes to thaw. Don’t put them in the microwave, because the jelly gets all runny.
Not that I’d know this from experience or anything...
LOL, I know what they are now - just never knew their name. How I love white bread - so good and not so good for you.
Did you see the Larry King Live interview with all the top 10 finalists? I got the strong impression that Cookie and Johns became friends while on the show. They were roommates. Also, everyone said Johns was the "class clown/cut-up" of the group.
Carly came off pretty good in that interview, while miss-lets-start-over did not.

Good interview with David Cook on EW - there are others but I just watched the Cook videos.
