Was Craig let go from Blender for his scathing remarks about Nickelback? If he is linked to CNET.com I also doubt their sanity as well. He thought Nickelback fans were teens and couldn’t tell good music from bad. Thanks alot Criag. I’m 58 and have been Rock and Roll since I was about 13 and got my first album to play (Dion). I am not sure you know good music, stirring lyrics, or a good voice when you hear one. Sorry, I first heard Chad & Co when I was shopping and one of their videos was being used as a demo in the store for their TV’s. I spent the next few hours trying to find out who this wonderful Band was. I have been an avid follower since. So, call me dumb too if you choose but I think you need to reevaluate the babyboomers to whom that music appeals and may just be the driving force for all those millions of albums sold. I would spend $200 for a ticket to their show.
