The best song on Barenaked Ladies’ 2003 album Everything to Everyone is a lyrically profound song called the War on Drugs. The song is deep, detailed and backed by some of the most gorgeous music the band has ever made. To top it all off, it’s vocalist Steven Page at his very best.
Now it appears, the song has become truth. The vocalist was arrested for possession of cocaine after some was found in an apartment in upstate New York. He was released on $10,000 bail and has a future court date.
What’s the irony of this all? Page is in the middle of a children’s book tour.
Oh man, truth is stranger than fiction.
