So Steven Page has left the Barenaked Ladies and we're all shocked and sad. And then the Netwerk Label producer Terry McBride goes and disses Page in what seems like an attempt to comfort fans that we'll still have the BNL we've grown to love.
"If you really (examine) the last six, seven years of the Barenaked Ladies, it's very much an Ed and Steve collaboration, but Ed's written probably 90 per cent of the singles," McBride said. "He's really been, in the last decade, the driving creative force behind the band."

Dude, are you a raging idiot? That makes you look like a dick, and puts both the band and Page in an awkward place moving forward. Instead, he should have expressed sadness that this had happened, expounded the virtues of Page as an artist, entertainer and contributer, wished him well and moved on.
Idiot.
