hiddenmuseFrom what I've been reading in the Gossip Mill (i.e.: my Friends' LJs) today, there is wonderful news for Kevin Hearn of Barenaked Ladies - as he has just become a daddy! *beams like an idiot*
This, of course, has resulted in a hell of a lot of contention in various circles, to put it extremely mildly. Why people can't just be happy for Kevin and his new family is beyond me. Why the news of a new baby coming into the world has to bring out the worst and weirdest in some people is utterly confounding. Maybe it just has to do with the father, and his perceived image as being "innocent, can do no wrong, and dare I say it - borderline asexual".
Now, I will admit to having joked that if Kevin did have a family, some of the fans would probably prefer to think that his children were conceived by Immaculate Conception. ;)
But in all seriousness, I do think its wonderful that he's a father, and I think that he will truly appreciate and cherish his son or daughter.
In the meantime, for those that are taking it way too seriously - and getting their panties in a bunch over this - I'm adding Prozac to their water supplies. ASAP. Anyone care to join me?
