Blind Item #3 - Reader Blind Item
People love to hate on this band, although they must be doing something right, as they've been widely successful for over 2 decades now. We were working their third album when a call came in from the lead singer. A scathing article about them had just been published by a top rock critic. Our front man was completely gutted. Did America really hate them? I tried to explain how we build you up to tear you down, and that nobody listens to rock critics anyway. I spent about 20 minutes trying to cheer him up. I hope I helped a bit. Like I said, people love to hate them, but they were never anything but kind, charming, and professional when I worked with them, if a little self deprecating. They even made it a point to meet everyone at the label when they came in. I worked with "baby" bands who were total assholes, so I'll always have a soft spot for them.
