This is not a comment on the-former-lead-singer-of-BNL, but rather on a theater reviewer who wrote an article about him. I'm not using the actual name of the-former-lead-singer-of-BNL, because Spunky Labia, International Toe Porn Superstar, is a competitive bitch and she wants to stay at the top of the Ligit searches.
One of the things I read in this article this weekend: "It says a lot about Page as a human being that, during his evening from hell, his primary worry wasn't about his career or his future but for his children and how they were going to take the news."
Okay, I took this article with the proverbial deer-sized salt lick, until I got to that sentence. How low are the standards for raising children in Canada that they aren't the first concern of their parents? Isn't that the bare minimum requirement for being human? Instead of saying a lot about a human being? "I had my kids two years ago and I haven't cooked them for breakfast yet." "Why, that says a lot about you as a human being, eh."
If I were that reviewer's kids I'd be scouting out other daddies about now.
That was a weird article. I also find it weird when said former lead singer refers to himself as a "single parent". No one died - he left. She's still primary care giver - so they share the responsibilities- so no single parenting there. - alright- complaint over. -That's just been bothering me.

Huh. Well, it is wierd this splitting of the singer- that shall not be name for fear of upsetting spunky labia- from his band.
What's wierder is that he doesn't elaborate on the arrest in terms of wtf? Does he have an addiction? Was it 'someone elses?' What?
And i really appreciate that he has other ambitions, to write for theater, get all serious and be a real artist but come one, BNL can still happen every few years. The goal, when completing a body of work, is to have balance.
Yeah, it feels fishy him cutting the ties and such. fishy fishy fishy
and I hope the reviewer's kid finds a new daddy :)

If comments for that article were open I'd say: Ships, Richard. Ships.

I like the way he talked about how he found out shallow his bad friends were and how good his good friends were. Isn't he shacking up with one of the bad friends and kicked four of his good friends to the curb? WTF? That article was enlightening to say the least, I think it made Tyler real happy too. Oy

Erm...I actually think that not consuming your young makes you a pretty successful parent, US or Canada, but that's just me.
And you really should get those toes on the webcam and charge for it, SL.

Sorry, babe, he's now sunk to the level of deadbeat loser at the defendant's table being berated handily by Judge Judy.

Kelly Light - Sigh. I know. You wouldn't think a theater critic would be so ... uncritical?
Mrs. hall - I thank you, Spunky thanks you. Don't anger Spunky.
Erin - Thank you for mocking the appropriate subject, Erin! "Chips" and Dip. Poor fact checking, that.
Surprising Woman - It's one of those articles that speaks more in what it doesn't say than in what it does say.
Mare - Spunky already has a fan: Josh. See http://tinyurl.com/d8uo3d
3 - Sigh. Focus on the poor journalism.
