Blind Items Revealed #5
I went back looking for this blind item, convinced it had been revealed a decade ago. Apparently it never was, or at least I can't find that it was. I remembered the generalities of it, but wanted to review it in light of what happened to him this week. Here it is.
April 4, 2007
So this publicity hungry singer has a pretty bad reputation already. Seems that at a show he did not so long ago he went completely out of control. (He would've given Joe Francis a run for his money) Before the show even started he presented a challenge to his crew. "First one who scores 20 Xanax for me gets a plasma television." Thirty minutes later a member of the crew was looking at new plasmas on the internet.
During this particular concert our singer was the opening act. Instead of retreating to the dressing room or his bus, the singer decided to hang around on the side of the stage. There were several attractive young women and he went up to each. While he was talking to them he would grab their butt and bring them closer to him. If they tried to get away he would grab them and make them struggle to get away.
After the concert, the tour bus was crowded. Primarily on board were girls/women of the late teenage variety. Some were openly making out with members of the backing band and crew. Other girls/women were passed out. Those that were passed out were being drawn on with a Sharpie by our singer. His favorite thing to draw were pictures of male genitalia around their mouths and obscene words on any exposed part of their body. If there was not enough skin exposed he would expose it.
If a girl was passed out and didn't have a friend with her to take her home, they would just leave the girl there passed out and drive to the next city. When the girl woke up, they would kick her off the bus, no matter the location and let her fend for herself. Of course they can choose a different option instead, but it involves every member of the band with the singer going first.

Howie Day
Howie Day. Had to google that one.
ReplyDeleteOh thank goodness, I confused him with Duncan Sheik for a second there. To hell with Howie Day.
ReplyDeleteNever tarnish the beauty that is Duncan Shiek!!❤️Yes crushed madley on him with his debut album... bought the CD(yeah moons ago) for like 5 bucks in Union Square(he was still unknown) because he was so hot imo... than fell in love with his music...very Roxy Music(that album)
DeleteWell I’m thinking it over anyway
DeleteSo he beat up his g\f the other day and he got his name all over the interwebs for the first time in years
ReplyDeleteDamn. Talk about your one hit wonder has beens. Sounds like he deserved obscurity.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the girls that got caught up in this.
Who, and what the fuck?!
ReplyDeleteWho the Fuck is Howie Day?
ReplyDeleteI think Howie Mandel and Doris Day had a trangender daughter that went by Howie Day... I was gonna google it but when I heard the name I thought to myself "I really don't care that much"
Delete"Said I was yours, you were mine but I didn't really mean it
ReplyDeleteAnd I lied and I lied
And I wish you hadn't seen it
Cause I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness"
Never heard of him. I like Duncan Sheik, though.
ReplyDeleteI as well(see above). Very musically accomplished now with the Broadway composing and hits as well(Spring Awakenjng I think?)
Delete*Awakenings
DeleteWhowie Day?
ReplyDeleteI do like his song "Collide" but I am glad he had a head on collision with one hit wonderism and obscurity. What an ass.
ReplyDeleteWell said!
DeleteDidn't he hook up with Britney in rehab? Check the archives again ,Enty.

ReplyDeleteThis the reason for repost??
lol, in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteWhoie Day?
ReplyDeleteanyone called, "Howie," should do time.
ReplyDeletewho?
ReplyDeleteI remember this blind!!
ReplyDelete@Tricia13, I kept buying Duncan Sheik albums even after they stopped being good, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI think "Humming" is his best, but that may be only because I got so sick of that first one after playing it all the time before he became popular, then hearing it all over again once he became popular.
Same here@DDonna😊
DeleteHowie Day was so bleh.
ReplyDeleteI was a college freshman (fall 2003) and he was on a college tour. I shudder to think what he didn't on mine and other's campus
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this cunt. I didn't miss anything.
ReplyDelete"Everyone Loves to Love a Lie" is an awesome song, but I can't think of anything else he's done that I like. Certainly not copying Axl Rose's M.O. Be kind to your groupies: one day, you may not have any left.
ReplyDeleteNot sure exactly who he is but ironically enough People literally posted this article an hour ago.

To paraphrase "I still don't know him".
ReplyDeleteDang that sucks. I actually know who he is. I had an album of his called “Australia” that was pretty good. He was actually a pretty good musician and did a lot in the way of using pedals in a live show and recording and looping while he played. It was pretty innovative around 2003-2004 ish. Collide sucked, though. I never knew he was such a douche nozzle.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I read that whole boring thing and have no idea who this Howie Day is. Zzzz...
ReplyDeleteJennacheryl: "He was verbally abusive to the flight crew and was kicking the backs of seats of passengers in front of him,” --What is he, five years old?
ReplyDeleteNo rape? Lame.
ReplyDeleteThis that's what this part signified: "Of course they can choose a different option instead, but it involves every member of the band with the singer going first."
DeleteI met him in the early 00s and he was not very nice
ReplyDeleteWhat did he do?
DeleteNever heard of him.
