So, wait, you can charged with possession just because you're in the same room as a controlled substance?

If I had a million dollars... I'd buy a ton of blow.

But not a real ton of blow - that's cruel.

Could've been worse -- he wanted to call the album "Smacktime."

What was he doing near Syracuse?
Next stop rehab?

I thought this might be a dig at They Might Be Giants, but then I remembered they never left their prime, so you must mean someone else.

Well, to be fair, TMBG in a slump (mid-late '90s) is still much more interesting than most of the alt-rock bands who were hitting their stride at the time (like, oh, say... Barenaked Ladies). No! was the beginning of their second wind, though, at least in my opinion. It was like all the wacky novelty songs missing from the last few albums all converged into a storm of comedy noises and non sequiturs. Maybe Snacktime will bring Barenaked Ladies back up to speed in the same way.

Fat, drunk, and getting busted doing coke with a pair of groupies is no way to go through life, son...

Ah shiat who am I kidding, I'm jealous.

 
factoryconnection 2008-07-16 09:47:38 AM  
Lying in bed, just like Brian Wilson Rick James did.

Doesn't matter... I still love BNL. I wish the article had described how they got caught. Were they creating a ruckus and a neighbor called the police? Could they describe the ruckus?

 
MaxxLarge [TotalFark] 2008-07-16 09:47:48 AM  
A is for "Arrested." The wrong man was convicted! He'll have to live with it every day!

Got nuthin'. This just kinda sucks. They always seemed so squeaky-clean.

I've always loved the band, but I also understand how off-the-charts nerdy to the common Joe. A solid blow possession arrest is just the thing to boost their street cred.

Police checking the apartment building at 311 Genesee Street saw a man and a woman through a glass door sitting at a kitchen table


If that's what happened, then the search is legit. Lesson: When you're doing blow, shut your front door, moron.

Ha-Ha! Never thought of that. I wonder how the NDP will try and spin this on to blaming it on Harper, Bush, global warming or all three?

Now I feel like a maroon, as I read the Yahoo article earlier today but not the linked one here. This one had a lot more detail. The indiscretion with the car door led the police to the front door. Plain-sight evidence led to probable cause (all quite legal) and thus they busted them.

The loophole, if any will be either:
1. Did the car's disposition legitimately lead the PD to the door?
2. Can it be proven that he was in possession of the drugs?

Remember: Scott Weiland has been a free man for a long time. This nerd is going to get off!

I was always perplexed with the flawless delivery of "One Week." Now I guess I can presume coke had something to do with it.

That wasn't him - that was Ed Robinson, the band's other lead vocalist.

Chris Farley and John Belushi would like a word with you.

Oh, wait...

 
actionjackson2 2008-07-16 06:56:24 PM  
I always knew he had to be on something... nobody could sing those words to "One Week" unless they were whited out of their mind. I've tried.

 
RecliningBuddha [TotalFark] 2008-07-16 07:06:01 PM  
He should have just kept it in his shoe box. shoe box of lie-yie-yie-yie-ies.

Good luck Steve, I adore BNL and hope this doesn't ruin them!

/once drove 1000 miles to see them in Winter Park, Colorado
//no regrets as they gave an amazing concert!
///seen them live 7 times but probably won't again because they got too popular and I don't have a good time surrounded by gum chewing snowflakes and their bermuda-shorts-wearing parents.

I personally stopped paying as much attention when they got the band. But, I ocasionally still here and am pleasantly suprised by them.

I saw TMBG live in Columbus a few years back (I think the Mink Car tour). A huge storm rolled through and knocked out power for blocks around. When it was pretty evident power wasn't going to be restored anytime soon, they came back out with acoustics and told everyone to shut the hell up and they played a bunch of songs in a dark venue by flashlight. Not only hilarious, but one helluva show.

///was laid up for two days, but still regretful I missed the end.
