Good Grief

This frightens me. Who buys a Nickelback album, truly? Who walks in to the store, slams it down on the counter and says to themselves, “I just bought a classic in the making”? It’s been on the charts in the top 10 in the States for a year. That’s 365 days people. And I can understand the inability to get away from them in Canada because every single bloody radio station other than the CBC plays them at least 4 times an hour, but in the States they have a choice. There’s no CanCon. There’s nothing forcing anyone to actually listen to Chad Kroger’s absolutely banal lyrics. Why? Why? Why?
