Barenaked And High As A Kite


We interrupt our regularly scheduled nonsense and PR premiere coverage to bring you this breaking news:

Barenaked Ladies singer arrested on drug charges 07/16/2008 5:13 AM,

The singer and guitarist for the band Barenaked Ladies has been arrested on drug charges in upstate New York. Police say Steven Page was charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance on Friday in the Syracuse area.

Authorities say the arrest occurred at about 2 a.m. after police noticed a suspicious car with its driver's side door left open. They say they found Page and two women in a nearby apartment, along with cocaine and marijuana. Barenaked Ladies' manager Terry McBride confirmed the charge to the Post-Standard of Syracuse but declined to comment further. The singer, released after paying $10,000 bail, is due in court Thursday. Page helped form the band in 1988. The group, know for hits such as "One Week" and "Pinch Me" recently released their debut kids "Snacktime."


First of all (in a nutshell), I don't really see parents rushing out to buy an album for their kids by a band called Barenaked Ladies. "Are you ready kids?! Here's Uncle Steve & the Barenaked Ladies! Iiiiiiit's cracktime! Uh....I mean snacktime, snacktime! Dammit!"

We downloaded the album for Harry and bought 6 copies for various friends! It's an awesome CD...but we did get funny looks from the teachers when we offered to bring it in to Harry's school.
Make sure you check out the best song on the album: "7-8-9."

9 was minding his business, talking to 10 about Gordie Howe's clothes. Why 7 8 9 nobody knows....1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-10! WHat about 9? 789!
