Nickelback's Dark Horse For Dark Times

in
By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) November 17, 2008 4:20 pm
ChartAttack's quick-hit, currently-playing Pumping On Our Stereo blog characterized Nickelback's new album Dark Horse as a "moral vacuum," but that's incorrect. There's a clear moral code at play here. In fact, it perfectly represents the dominant values of our culture. In a nutshell, drugs are BAD, but beer ROCKS. Love is MAGIC,...

Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has made headlines yet again, this time for firing his housekeeper of two years, Arlene Morris. No, this isn't as bad as him being convicted of DUI, allegedly assaulting hecklers or losing popularity contests to a brine-soaked vegetable. But it still kind of reeks because the firing took place a few days before...

It's entirely obvious, but must still be said: Tiger Woods' decision-making is indeed incredible. TMZ reports Woods was partying it up backstage at Nickelback's show in Orlando's Amway Arena on Monday (April 19) night, "shrouded by security." This shouldn't really be that surprising, considering Woods has appeared on stage with...
