Everclear, just another B-List sighting



I love B-List celebrities, and as my blogs have gone this semester, I have get my fair share of them.  This time I had the pleasure of sitting next to the lead singer of Everclear on a plane to Portland.  My friend and I spotted him in line and we discovered he had the seat next to us.  The attendant who checked the tickets asked us to confirm if that was really him, to which we rolled our eyes and said yes.  Art Alexis was on his cell phone the entire time and seeing as that I was sitting directly next to him I got incredible eve's dropping in.   He was blabbing about how the music industry has changed and how he is in the film industry now.  He loves getting dirty in Oregon and farming.  He also produces his own music and makes way more money doing it this way.  He was in LA getting financing together for his next "project" and was trying to get this guy interested in producing it, bragging about how much fun they have on set and how this film making thing is easy.  This kept on going right until we are about to take off, to which the same attendant made her way onto the plane and asked him if he wanted to be upgraded to first class for no fee. He looked over to me and my friend and said "Chiyah!!! ... NO, I don't want First Class for Free!?!?"  He got up and went to his "ultra nice" accommodations of Alaska Airlines First class from LA to OR.  The irony is he overpaid for his coach ticket by double of what I paid.  I know this because he left his ticket in his original seat: JACKPOT! I now own a piece of B-List Celebrity shit.  Furthermore, their new album came out the next day, which it was nothing but covers of songs that the band liked or were influence by...it sounded pretty bad.
