    David Cook’s ‘American Idol’ homecoming plans include free concert, parade

    Of the remaining Idol contestants, whose music would you most likely pay for?

    “American Idol” contestant David Cook will perform a free show at the Power & Light District during a “homecoming” visit to Kansas City today.

    He’ll start the day with an appearance this morning on the Fox 4 Morning Show.

    The free Power & Light mini-concert is set for 11:30 a.m. He’ll then be in a “David Cook Homecoming Celebration Parade and Concert” in Blue Springs. The parade starts at 3:30. The following Blue Springs concert is sold out.

    The city of Blue Springs has set up a David Cook hot line: 816-655-0490.

    Cook is then scheduled to appear at the Royals game tonight to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and throw out the first pitch.
