Jason Castro Homecoming

On Thursday, May 29th, Jason Castro, the dreadlocked twenty year old with the bright blue eyes, from Rockwall Texas, went back home to a hero’s reception. It seemed like everyone in Texas turned out to cheer Jason on, with some fans coming from as far away as Chicago, and Albuquerque, N.M., according to the Dallas Morning News. Ever since Jason sauntered into his first audition, ever-present guitar slung over his shoulder, and beaming ear to ear, he has made his way into the hearts of Idol viewers everywhere. Jason, who came in fourth in this past season’s competition, performed a short concert of three songs, and then took part in a parade, and a waterfront celebration. One of the songs he performed was, of course, “Deep In The Heart Of Texas”. "I got what I came for — for people to know who I was and for people to listen to my music," Castro said, according to a story on The Dallas Morning News. All we know is that Jason needn’t worry about people not knowing who is, or not listening to his music, it’s far too late for that! Jason is a big star already, since his time on American Idol, and it looks like that’s the way it’s going to be for quite some time! Watch our exit interview with Jason!
