You pick that and not the cocaine possession?
Drug arrest[edit]
On July 11, 2008, Page was arrested while visiting the apartment of Christine Benedicto in Fayetteville, New York, along with Benedicto and another tenant.[23] According to police, just after 2:00 am, officers were investigating Benedicto's car, which was suspiciously parked across the sidewalk or driveway (reports vary) in front of the home.[23][24][25] The officers noticed Page and the other tenant, Stephanie Ford, at the kitchen table through a glass door. The two quickly covered the table with a towel when they noticed the officers.[26] Though initially claiming that the white powder he was snorting was calcium, when Page was informed by the police that it was testing positive for cocaine Page allegedly said, "Yeah, it's cocaine."[27][28] Officers also found two capsules in Page's pocket. The total mass of the cocaine discovered was 0.314 ounces (8.9 g).[28]
I saw Bush in concert once. I had to cover them at my old newspaper when our A&E reporter was sick.
Watching Gavin Rossdale mince around in his leather pants pointing at a girl in the audience every two minutes was hilarious. He was like David Lee Roth with even less talent. Seemed really out of place at the time since they were essentially just glomming on to grunge.
Bush are playing ballpark village in St Louis soon and I have an almost 40 year old co worker who is going and very excited. He bought vip tickets and a crappy $60 guitar for Rosedale to sign. Rosedale was his high school hero and he frequently talks about how he used to 'look just like him'. Sad.

Golden State was actually pretty good.
I'm secure enough in myself to publicly ride hard for "Swallowed" and "Greedy Fly" but that's about it.
The Mouth remix was pretty ace as well.
I'll admit that there are a couple decent songs on Razorblade Suitcase and The Science of Things. But really, Sixteen Stone was great and almost everything since has been shit.

I kinda think the opposite actually.
They settled into that "classic U2 sound," instead of continuing to explore their own musically interests.
I'd rather a thousand Zooropas and Pops, than the "let's just give the fans what they want" garbage of the last 15 years.
I think they're trying to stay relevant by giving people what they think they want, which is that "classic U2 sound." Ironically enough, though, the best parts of their most recent albums are when they experiment and drift away fromit.
