Steven Page: Barenaked Man

It's not every day that you get to meet one of your musical heroes. Tonight, I shook hands with Steven Page of BNL (Barenaked Ladies). I found it incredibly challenging to keep myself from turning into a sycophantic drooling monkey boy while interviewing him. He's the real McCoy - a rock star who hasn't let fame get ahead of his art:

Barenaked Ladies singer / songwriter Steven Page is currently touring the country in promotion of his solo effort, The Vanity Project. The project is a collaboration with Page's own music hero, Stephen Duffy. Steven made a brief stop at Easy Street Records in Seattle tonight and we were lucky enough to grab a few minutes of his time. Topics range from making music, to music business, to politics, to the song that made Chris a fan of BNL. Be sure to check out the new album, The Vanity Project, available through most online music stores. More info about the album is available from Flagship Recordings.

I hope this is just the first of real-world celebrity interviews I'm able to do…

That is great! I love BNL as well, and I have also been following Steven's solo project.

I love BNL, just saw them this weekend in NYC with the Dave Matthews Band :)

Strange that I never saw this blog entry before. I met Steven Page on the same tour in 2005 at Tower Records in the Sherman Oaks Galleria for an in-store show. The following year BNL did a in-store at Barnes & Noble, Century City and I got all their autographs. I’ve never seen happier celebrities.

The first MP3 I ever downloaded, btw, was a 1 1/2 minute long BNL bootleg of them doing The Heart of Rock and Roll by Huey Lewis and the News!
