The end of an era

It's still hard to believe that after 20 long years, the Barenaked Ladies are losing their main frontman...their main voice. It's obvious that it ties into Page's cocaine arrest, but to know that their next album won't feature his unforgettable voice is hard to imagine.

I wish I knew more of the facts so I could understand the entire situation. But, unfortunately, this kind of thing happens a lot in the music industry. Bands change singers, drummers, etc. all the time. People leave or get tired of the lifestyle. It happens, I know. It's just the change that's always hard to accept...at first.

Will this stop me from wanting to hear a new BL song without Page's vocals? No, probably not. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here. But it will be hard to get used to for quite a while. I grew up on these guys. I can't take this change lightly. We shall see...
