Buried in an article about Mario Lopez taking over as host of Extra from Mark McGrath was this tidbit: “McGrath asked to released from his contract to focus on his band, Sugar Ray, which is recording a new album.” Obviously, the news might actually be that the producers of Extra encouraged McGrath to head back to his band as his services were no longer needed. But if he left willingly: Why? Sure, the band inked a new deal with Universal, but listening to the above track from their last studio album, it’s not like the music thing is likely reach the heights of “Fly” again. You’re going to miss TV, McGrath, and it’s not like you’re likely to get back on Extra via your band’s forthcoming EPKs. [AZ Central]

That last single was a dud, yeah, but for a while I think they were successfully milking the “Fly” formula and getting better results every time. “When It’s Over” >>>> “Someday” > “Every Morning” >>>> “Fly,” but that’s just my opinion.
I don’t know, Sugar Ray’s core fanbase will never forgive Mark McGrath for selling out to Extra. They’re a finicky bunch.
There’s this name for guys who have a lot of ace-of-spades-lucky-13-with-flames-and-barbwire tattoos, but hide them when they go skeezing for good girls or virgins to pick up, deflower and dump.
I can’t find it on Urban Dictionary.
McGrath reminds me of that guy. Maybe it’s “McGrath”.
