Now if you can remember my March 20th post “a message to David Cook “fans”” you can see that I was beginning to get concerned about David Cook and the band’s safety some supposed harmless fans. Over the weekend the topic even came in my conversations with member of Cook’s Musical Circle (I’m not naming names) more than once and now David himself was forced to make a stand, releasing the following statement on his MYSPACE:
ATTENTION!
Hey everyone,
First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has been coming out to the shows since my last post. The vibe at these shows has been amazing. Secondly, I have to address some behavior that has become disturbing. We pride ourselves on being accessible to you as fans, but in contrast, we do enjoy what little privacy we can muster. To that end, the efforts by some fans to find our hotel rooms, call our hotel rooms, attach things to our bus, etc., is something I have to condemn. This relationship only works when it remains healthy for both parties, and should this behavior continue, the only thing we can do is take more preventative measures to maintain our privacy, which in turn makes us less accessible to you. I hope this doesn’t come off as harsh. I merely want to nip this in the bud so we can continue to have a great experience with all of you at the shows we have coming up. Take care and see you at the next show.~D
I did see some stuff like this going on and i was literally sickened by it. When I saw him in that hotel trying unsuccessfully to maintain a few seconds of a regular life it was not this amazing rocker but rather a very lonely man who just wanted to have some fun with his friends and couldn’t.
Anyway so the tour breaks for a rest today and I hope the guys get some time to decompress so they are ready to reenter the madness Monday, they deserve it.
