Danny Gokey must have 20 or more pair of glasses. I mean, I’ve seen him wear atleast 4 and according to a recent interview he has many that he wishes to wear on TV but Idol hasn’t approved them due to a logo issue. Danny said,

“Yes, those were a different pair that I wore on the TV show. I’ve taken pictures with them, but I never wore them on TV yet. I have a couple more pairs that I want to wear, but they’ve not been approved because our logo is on them. So, I’m kind of disappointed. I’m hoping that somehow, it can be worked out where I can wear more glasses because I love glasses.”


So the first question that pops in my mind is: “our logo” ??

Danny Gokey and His Fashionable Eyewear

Danny Gokey and His Fashionable Eyewear

You have to wonder if he has his own brand or if he is the ginnie pig for his mega church. Churches in the US seem to brand everything these days. I’ve seen everything from coffee cups to music equipment. A valid question and just makes you wonder.

His eyewear is estimated to be at least $300 per pair. So how much does a church music director make these days?

So, how long until we start to see some of these “Gokey Glasses” All over the web for sale? I bet the first person to start selling these will do so out of the back of his truck…

Thanks to Bob Payne with the Seatle Times for the info.
