Cook's fans cause chaos at concerts

David Cook's "Declaration" tour, his first one as a solo artist, has been going fairly well in terms of attendance and positive reviews, but apparently the behavior of the Nerd Herd faithful has been another matter.

Cook time out of his relaxing Sunday to post a blog on his official music MySpace page to condemn the actions of some fans, saying in part:

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.

Cook then said he hoped the post didn't come off as being "harsh," but it was a serious matter and had to be addressed. Good for you, D.C., this kind of behavior cannot go unnoticed, and it will only get worse if nothing is said about it.

To all you Cook fans out there that have been doing this: grow up. Some people just don't get it.
