Quote:/font1h,121b,121Castro's rendition of the song "Hallelujah," which he performed on American Idol, led viewers to download the Jeff Buckley cover of the Leonard Cohen song from the iTunes Store, propelling it to the #1 spot on the iTunes singles chart. Buckley's version of the song sold 178,000 digital downloads in the week following Castro's performance, to debut at #1 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart[/b]. According to the March 22, 2008 issue of Billboard this was the highest boost in digital sales a song had ever received after being performed by a contestant on American Idol. It was the first time Buckley's version of the song charted on a Billboard chart, as well as the first U.S. number one song on any chart for Buckley, who died May 29, 1997 at age 30. Jason Castro???s rendition of the song propelled Jeff Buckley???s version to be certified Gold and Platinum as a single on April 22, 2008 b,121b,121h,121

The thing that gets me about these fools is that it doesn't seem like they're fronting on some rasta shit. b, 21b, 21It's more like "I like Bob Marley a lot so I'm going to grow dreads because it looks cooler than regular long hair." b, 21b, 21Ask them about Haile Selassie and they'll be like "Sure, what about Eminem's daughter?" b, 21b, 21As funny as "Ras Trent" is, I have to give him (and those that he's based on) credit for actually making some effort to be down. I'd rather see a white kid be a RUG (Rasta Until Graduation) instead of fools simply rocking fashion dreads.

b, 21b, 21I take you've never visited Austin, Texas or Boulder, Colorado then. b, 21b, 21h, 21
b, 21b, 21b, 21True, I have not. I've been in Boulder, but not long enough to come in contact with real-deal false rasta. I'm mainly familiar with the Midwest strain of dread-locked hippie with only Bob Marley Legend, Phish, and Dave Matthews pon de iPod.
