Chad Kroeger’s Odd Life

A Night With the World’s Most Hated Bands: This article about a guy taking in a doubleheader of Creed and Nickelback in one night was a little snarky and unfocused, but I enjoyed this quote:

It’s hard to get inside the existential paradox of [Nickelback front-man Chad] Kroeger’s life on tour: Every day, he gives interviews to journalists and radio DJs who directly ask him why no one likes his band. Every night, he plays music to thousands of enraptured superfans, many of whom love him with a ferocity that’s probably unhealthy. Every concert ends with a standing ovation; if he feels motivated, he spends the remainder of the night partying with forgettable strangers who will remember him for the rest of their lives. Eventually, Kroeger falls asleep. And then he wakes up in a beautiful hotel room, only to read new articles about how everyone in North America hates his band.
