Happy Birthday, Miley!
Last Sunday, I went to Miley Cyrus' birthday party. It was for her Sweet 16, so it was huge. It was at Disneyland, and they shut down the park for it. It was a red carpet event too. Well, the carpet was purple... along with a bunch of other stuff there since I guess that's Miley's favorite color... but anyway. It was a lot of fun, especially since my brothers and sisters all came down to come along since we could have guests. It's been a while since I've really gotten to spend that kind of time with them, so it was awesome.
Disneyland's definitely a happy place. They had really good food there, like pizza rolls, Asian stuff, and they even had purple sandwiches. I should have taken a picture of them or something because it was pretty crazy. So when we first got there we ate and mingled a bit, and afterwards all the invited guests rode in convertibles, sort of like a parade. I think they called it Stars and Cars? Not exactly sure. It was kinda awkward since there were people on the sidelines, and you just sat there and waved at them as you passed by, haha, but it was still fun. After that, we walked the purple carpet and did a bunch of interviews. We also had a chance to sign some things for fans who were nearby and talk for a little bit with them. When the press stuff was done, they had a concert for everyone there, and Billy Ray and Miley both performed.
Then, I got to ride the rides! We rode on the Indiana Jones ride, Space Mountain, the Matterhorn... and I guess that's it, haha. After the rides, everyone met up to wish Miley a happy birthday and to watch fireworks. So my family had a good time, and I'm glad we were able to spend some good fun time together. I'll try to load up some of the pictures I took at Disneyland, and I'll let you know about anything new next week!

An article from AI's site:
Big David Cook News!
David Cook will release his self-titled debut album on November 18th, 2008 (19 Recordings / RCA Records). The first single, “Light On,” produced by Grammy winning producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Kid Rock), is currently available at all digital music providers.
“Light On” was co-written by one of rock music’s most influential innovators, Chris Cornell, lead singer and songwriter for Soundgarden and Audioslave, and acclaimed producer / songwriter Brian Howes, who has worked with superstar rock bands such as Hinder and Puddle of Mudd.
In late September, “Light On” premiered on AOL Music’s pop culture news site, PopEater.com, receiving over 1 million plays in less than week.
The cover art for David Cook is currently available on his official web site.

The Time Of My Life*
:jumpy: David is also featured in the most recent issue of Rolling Stone Magazine as well! In the article, he explains the difference between his performances on American Idol and his upcoming album. On the show, he went for the shock factor. With his debut CD, he isn't trying to surprise anyone but, instead, he says "I just want the songs to kick you in the teeth or make you want to cry..." Much of the work had to be done from the road due to the American Idol tour schedule. In fact, David admits a lot of the work was done with producer Rob Cavallo by phone and email, so he had to really divulge a lot about himself at a rapid pace. As David says, "It was really scary-the best analogy I can come up with is that it was like taking your clothes off in church."
David wrote or co-wrote nearly every song on the album, drawing upon his songwriting sessions with pros in the industry as well as some pieces he worked on during his bartending pre-Idol days. As noted in the article, "A preview of eight tracks suggests that listeners can expect radio-ready anthems like the sweeping, U2-esque 'Come Back to Me,' some aggro rockers like 'Bar Bi Sol' and plenty of the soaring voice that the AI judges loved."
