If I Had $1,000,000

Hi. I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve. That would be why I am going to tell you this. I have a history of taking off my shirt. Yea so Barenaked Ladies is one of my favorite bands and I just listened to "One Week" and I felt like typing some lyrics.

Here's an interesting fact. One of the singers for Barenaked Ladies was arrested for cocaine possession back in oh eight. The charges were eventually dropped, after he made good on the courts request to stay clean for like six months or something. But still. Cocaine! Barenaked Ladies! Never saw it coming. Anyways, since then he has left the band to pursue a solo carrier. That's where my problem comes in. Barenaked Ladies as a band still exists and plans to record new material. Now I realize that their other singer is still there, but it just doesn't feel the same. And I could never see myself listening to a Stephen Page solo record. Yet if they had stayed together as one band, I would totally be buying their next record.

I don't know. I guess their newer material hasn't been as good as the older stuff, but that's how it always goes. Bands just cannot continually put out fantastic material. Of course if I were to fully believe that then I would have to over look Metallica. Seriously, Death Magnetic rocks. Hard.
