Did David Win American Idol?
Posted by Robbie Cooper on May 22nd, 2008 | TrackbackI admit that the show was on at our house last night — but I was not watching it. I was writing while the television blared in the background. I swear the dogs like watching that crap.

2008 ACL Music Festival Lineup — We Waited All Year for This?
Posted by Robbie Cooper on April 15th, 2008 | TrackbackColor me unimpressed. No way I’m paying the $170 three-day pass ticket price for that line up. No way am I fighting the crowds, the dust, and the heat for that lineup.
American Idol Blogging — David Cook and Everybody Else
Posted by Robbie Cooper on March 26th, 2008 | TrackbackHis version of Billie Jean last night was one of my favorite American Idol performances this season. I like his version better than Michale Jackson’s original, and a bit more than Chris Cornell’s version, which he copied.

Posted by Robbie Cooper on March 24th, 2008 | TrackbackAustin Sound Check has found a poster for this year’s 2008 Austin City Limits (ACL) music festival. I didn’t go last year, but this year’s lineup has a lot of artists I’d like to go see:

Cactus Cuties Sing the National Anthem
Posted by Robbie Cooper on March 6th, 2008 | TrackbackIt is so simply, beautifully, and powerfully peformed, I bet even Barack Obama would put his hand over his heart…
Nas and Kelis — Flaunt’n the Nigger Shirt
Posted by Robbie Cooper on February 11th, 2008 | TrackbackI’m not sure which I find more offensive. Nas and Kelis’s t-shirts with “Nigger” proudly (ignorantly?) emblazoned on them…or Kelis’ pants.
Pimp C — Houston Rapper Died from Too Much Syrup
Posted by Robbie Cooper on February 5th, 2008 | TrackbackBut DJ Screw would be proud that his legacy has lived on. And now another Houston rapper, Pimp C, who rapped about and glamorized using the drug “recreationally” is dead.
Jerry Jeff Walker at One World Theater in Austin
Posted by Robbie Cooper on February 3rd, 2008 | TrackbackI’ve seen Willie Nelson and Robert Earle Keen several times each. I still haven’t seen Lyle Lovett. But last night, I finally got to see Austin and Texas legend Jerry Jeff Walker (65-years old) at the One World Theater here in Austin.
American Idol Bruce Dickson — I’ve Never Kissed a Girl Before
Posted by Robbie Cooper on January 17th, 2008 | TrackbackThe kid kept going on and on about how he had never kissed a girl. Or never been with a girl. I couldn’t help but think, “Yeah, but how many boys have you kissed. And was your father one of them.”
2008 Star of Texas Rodeo Music Lineup Announced
Posted by Robbie Cooper on January 15th, 2008 | TrackbackDecent lineup. Of the listed artists, I’ll probably only go see Gretchen Wilson and Miranda Lambert, though if I might go catch Willie, too (though March 4 is the Texas presidential primary).

Posted by Robbie Cooper on December 28th, 2007 | TrackbackI guess I’m getting old (and not just older). Because of the Rolling Stone Top 50 Albums of 2007, I only purchased and/or listened to 3 of them.
