Kelly Dearmore from the Dallas Observer had a candid interview with former Ragweed frontman Cody Canada about their break up. Among many other things Cody said "It's been long enough and I'm tired of covering up for a certain guy," he went on "We decided that in order to press forward as individuals, we should just split it. I'll just say that the person in question was uncomfortable, and it was time to move on. It's not fun to play music when one person from the band isn't into it.” -- if you’re a ragweed fan check out my blog for the entire story
