Who else other than Mr David Cook himself?
Cook has gone a long way since the American Idol days. A new season has begun, but Cook is still rocking the world.
Cook's coronation single, "The Time Of My Life" has topped charts everywhere. The single has now passed it's platinum status but is still going strong.
Cook's post-Idol self titled debut album has garnered major success worldwide, and has already been certified platinum after 3 months.
The first single from the album, "Light On", is an airplay gainer on the charts and sales has passed the gold mark of 500,000 too.
Go Cook!

But 4th June is not the aniversary. The link above even gives the date of the first mnned flight as October 19th. Clicking on the image to do a google search, and the very first link gives the first flight as 19th September. The only thing in connection with hot air ballooning is the aniversary of the first public demonstration (hardly worth celebratign)
They have got the dates wrong the first hot air balloon was not on June 4th but in November. I wonder where they got their facts from.
Mick June & Googleplex –
Yeah I did find it odd that none of the dates matched June 4th, so I didn’t post any info about it. Very weird. Thanks for the info!
