Substance, Aural Abuse

Who knew that behind the Kraft dinner, the goofy raps and the squeaky clean image the Barenaked Ladies were actual rock stars! The good news comes from upstate New York, where lead warbler Steven Page was arrested and charged with cocaine possession. And that's not all, he was with two chicks! The band's official site says that Page plans to fight the charges, but we all know that you have to do that when dealing with The Man; it doesn't change the fact that Barenaked Ladies are now as welcome in the party pantheon as stalwarts Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Pete Doherty! Barenaked Ladies haven't been this appealing since their yellow tape era.


Also Declining Politely:

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has entered rehab once again! Given the theme to this post, that's news.

Don Henley, John Mellencamp and Tony freakin' Bennett joined rehab veteran Billy Joel onstage last night for the first of his two Shea Stadium shows. Given the impending destruction of Shea, plus Christie Brinkley's divorce news, plus his battles with addiction, Joel is bizarrely swimming amidst the zeitgeist.
