Never thought you’d hear the words “Barenaked Ladies” and “drug bust” in the same sentence? Well…
BNL lead singer Steven Page
Steven Page, lead singer of Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies was busted last Friday for possession of a controlled substance in Syracuse, NY (Syracuse? Really?). Cops, suspicions aroused by a car with one door open (?), found married dad Page (whose band just released a children’s album, for crying out loud!) along with two women (??) in a nearby apartment with cocaine and pot. I wonder if the ladies were barenaked??? BWAHAHHAHHAHHA…
(For those who aren’t really up on their BNL, they are the guys who sing “One Week”, and “If I Had $1,000,000”. Of the group’s two main singers, Steven Page is the fairer, sort of chunky one with the big voice, while Ed Robertson is the darker, more nerdy-sounding one)
But anyway, I won’t say anything bad about Steven Page. I’m actually extremely fond of BNL..well at least I was until that “Barenaked Ladies are Men” crap. They’re one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen (and the only rock band I know who could get away with a cover of Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious”, as they performed the night I saw them). But seriously…who’d have thought that the singer of songs like “Be My Yoko Ono” and “Brian Wilson” was capable of Winehousity??
