Steven Page (far right) has left the Barenaked Ladies, apparently for reasons tied to his cocaine arrest a while ago.  He sang half the songs, and half of “One Week.”  To compare BNL to a current Canadian rock group with two singers, imagine Spencer Krug leaving Dan Boeckner to run Wolf Parade on his own.  Would Dan invite his wife Alexei into Wolf Parade, or would he invite the other 2-3 guys into Handsome Furs?  Does Ed Robinson (center) even have his own side project that can now fold into BNL?  Is BNL even still active?  Are they selling millions of copies in Canada without us knowing?  Did their Harrison Ford-like frantic Canadian lifestyle drive Steven to cocaine?  Or did the cocaine drive the music?  So many questions left unanswered.
