Barenaked Coke LinesAuthor: Mack Rawden

You know how awful it is when your parents say something like, “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed?” Well, I’m not mad at Barenaked Ladies front man Steven Page, I’m just disappointed. The thirty-eight year old rocker and frequent contributor to VH1 countdown shows was busted in a Syracuse suburb after police responding to a suspicious vehicle charge spotted what appeared to be cocaine on his kitchen table.
According to WENN, the lead singer was released shortly afterwards on ten thousand dollars bail. I’ve done some stupid shit in my day, all of which I’ve owned up to; so, I’m not the one to point fingers---but you have to think things through better than this. Snorting coke lines in front of a sliding glass door? Come’on. No one, outside of a BNL rep has given a public statement, but if I know Steven, it’ll still be two days ’til he says he’s sorry. In an ironic and sad twist, Barenaked Ladies just released their first children’s album, and I can’t imagine felony drug charges will convince parents to throw down fifteen bucks for the new record in the same way stories of heroin overdoses might help a band like Motley Crue. Still, I’m a big Steven Page fan, and I honestly think he’ll get his life back in order. Be a little smarter next time, Steven. All of us here at Cinema Blend are rooting for you. |
