Even the best fall down sometimes.

Howie Day’s arrest at Boston’s Logan Airport last week actually wasn’t his first brush with the law, although I would argue that I find it substantially more entertaining than that Collide song and the corresponding video. Back in 2004, when Howie was the opening act for the Barenaked Ladies, he supposedly locked a woman in the bathroom of a tour bus in Madison, Wisconsin because she rejected his advances. The scuffle, reports say, continued when Howie broke the cell phone of one bathroom girl’s friends, who tried to call the police for help, then proceeded to spill beer on these ladies when they finally freed themselves from the bus. Word of advice, Howie – the whole “you and I collide” lyric shouldn’t really be taken in a literal sense. The way to win a girl over does not involve locking her in an airtight compartment on a bus, ruining the personal property of her pals and then dousing them with cheap beer.
