Barenaked Ladies No More?

Surprising news: Steven Page is leaving Barenaked Ladies. That's like Difford or Tilbrook leaving Squeeze... can the band really be the same?

An amusing line from the article:

2008 was a rough year for the band. First Page was charged with drug possession in upstate New York last July, just weeks after the Barenaked Ladies released a children's album, 'Snacktime.'

Since marijuana was one of the drugs discovered, the album name takes on a whole new meaning.

My BNL collection consists of the single for One Week, plus Pinch Me on a compilation album. But I really like One Week, particularly the reference to Sailor Moon, which was surprisingly more successful in Canada than the U.S.
