Jason Castro may be gone but we’re focusing on the success this dread-head made for all alternative Latinos everywhere. Estamos orgullosos de este Colombiano for making it to the top four in this squeaky clean, predictable pop show. Jason’s “peace, love and happiness vibe” was reason enough to watch American Idol, man. No doubt David Archuleta and David Cook will be the final two in this season’s finale — way to ruin the show, producers – but all you “Dreadheads” and “Castronauts” who want to have a little “Memory” flashback of Jason Castro need to keep on reading after the jump.

“When I had that interview, I was kind of frustrated with a lot of things.” [On his interview with Entertainment Weekly when he said he wanted to go home] — This picture pretty much sums up how Jason Castro looks when frustrated. Chill out man, you’re off now!

The final four get their feet wet and away from their hectic schedule at American Idol. This must have been a good time for Jason to relax away from the stress with the competish.

Shiny, happy Jason. Our favorite laid-back “goofy” contestant works on his Latin tan. Maybe spending too much time in the sun contributed to Jason’s forgetfulness during his performance of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.”

Oh snap, Colombia vs. Honduras! Jason Castro and his Latin nemesis David Archuleta. Archuleta is now holding the torch as the only Latino on the show.

We’re going to miss this blue-eyed cutey on American Idol. What will the show be like without him? It’ll be boring…that’s what.

Ah, Jason Castro on all fours…just how we like him. Out in the sun making out with dolphins.

Flower power maaan. This kid is so blazed….uh, with glory! That’s right, he’s so blazed with glory.
