Scott Weiland's ex-wife, formerly married to the late lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots, wrote the following scathing obituary for Scott ...

Article excerpt:

December 3rd, 2015 is not the day Scott Weiland died. It is the official day the public will use to mourn him, and it was the last day he could be propped up in front of a microphone for the financial benefit or enjoyment of others. The outpouring of condolences and prayers offered to our children, Noah and Lucy, has been overwhelming, appreciated and even comforting. But the truth is, like so many other kids, they lost their father years ago. What they truly lost on December 3rd was hope.

We don't want to downplay Scott's amazing talent, presence or his ability to light up any stage with brilliant electricity. So many people have been gracious enough to praise his gift. The music is here to stay. But at some point, someone needs to step up and point out that yes, this will happen again – because as a society we almost encourage it. We read awful show reviews, watch videos of artists falling down, unable to recall their lyrics streaming on a teleprompter just a few feet away. And then we click "add to cart" because what actually belongs in a hospital is now considered art.

Many of these artists have children. Children with tears in their eyes, experiencing panic because their cries go unheard. You might ask, "How were we to know? We read that he loved spending time with his children and that he'd been drug-free for years!" In reality, what you didn't want to acknowledge was a paranoid man who couldn't remember his own lyrics and who was only photographed with his children a handful of times in 15 years of fatherhood. I've always wanted to share more than anyone was comfortable with. When writing a book years ago, it pained me to sometimes gloss over so much grief and struggle, but I did what I thought was best for Noah and Lucy. I knew they would one day see and feel everything that I'd been trying to shield them from, and that they'd eventually be brave enough to say, "That mess was our father. We loved him, but a deep-rooted mix of love and disappointment made up the majority of our relationship with him."

Now, given the fact that one, I don't have any kids and two, by spring of 2016, I would have gone a full 5 years without dating, doesn't that make me a better man than STP's lead?

You see, I don't do drugs, I don't date, and I don't have kids. All I do is bang whores and yes, I enjoy some cocktails here and there.

Yes. Duh.

2   Rin   2015 Dec 16, 4:19pm  

Yes, but society tells me that I'm suppose to be dating, falling in love, and having children.

How come that's just not the case for me?

3   Tenpoundbass   2015 Dec 16, 4:27pm  

No just getting married and having kids that other stuff is optional.

4   B.A.C.A.H.   2015 Dec 16, 4:42pm  

Rin,
Chill out dude.
You're living The American Dream, being who you want to be.
There's lotsa folks who are way too busy to be concerned about what you wanna do with your life.
For the few busy bodies that don't mind their own business, well there's always some of those. Who cares what they think?

Cock heads are also pretty good.

If you need validation, you're doing it wrong.

You don't have to do any of that stuff. Work hard, pay uncle sam his share, enjoy yourself without hurting others. Thats all you have to do in order to be a good citizen. I'd argue theres things to pursue that might benefit you eventually, but I think that message would be lost on you at the moment.

Oh, break some off to charity if you can. I dunno...see cheaper hookers for a bit or something if need be. Even though you don't have kids, you have no idea the difference you can make in the life of others who are hurt, suffering, or otherwise in need.

What do you expect ? Like Rin should read a story without thinking about what it has to do with him ?

10   Ceffer   2015 Dec 16, 10:51pm  

That's a tough call, Rin. Weiland got pelted with the sopping wet panties of rabid groupies sitting in the front row on a regular basis. That's a hard act to follow, even banging hookers.

The answer is yes. Scott had kids and didn't stand up to the responsibility of being a dad. I don't know what (if anything) that you've run away from/shirked responsibility of, but of Scott's infraction - you, obviously, are not guilty.

12   Blurtman   2015 Dec 17, 12:14pm  

Consider having kids as giving someone who has part of your genetic information an opportunity to have fun and bang hookers.

13   FNWGMOBDVZXDNW   2015 Dec 17, 1:12pm  

You are so much better than this Weiland dude. If the world were fair, the whores would bang you for free. You should definitely apply for some humanitarian grants to fund you whoring. You deserve it, bro.

I got a chance to talk with a lesbian who is married to her lover. We talked about her marriage, marital trouble, if counseling worked at all, and how a new baby is like a hand grenade tossed into a relationship. Honestly it was kind of like talking to another man at times, the feeling of being neglected by a wife with a new baby, of coming in second rate an no end in sight for that. Inwardly I was chuckling to myself, while also sympathizing with this woman who was really stymied and a bit exasperated with her (wife) for behaving precisely as women behave with their husbands when they have a baby. I just related some things I've learned about the issue, assured her that this time, while difficult as all hell, does pass.
And I thought about Rin...

Quigley, you thought about Rin?
Really?

More detritus from the sexual revolution.

If whores banged you for free, they wouldn't be whores; they'd be sluts.

18   FNWGMOBDVZXDNW   2015 Dec 17, 7:17pm  

They'd be sluts if they banged everybody for free. If they charged you and cic, but did rin for free b/c he is so awesome, they would still be whores.

19   Ceffer   2015 Dec 17, 11:58pm  

To be a completely fair evaluation, the comparison would have to be double blind.

Rin would have to have had all the venereal diseases (herpes, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, lymphogranuloma venereum, venereal warts etc), hepatitis, rampant, frothing, bisexual groupie orgies, flagrant drug abuse (alcohol, heroin, meth, cocaine, lsd, mescaline, ecstasy etc.), demented rock 'n roll performances, slobbering, staggering, slurring intoxications, and near death experiences of Weiland, as well as the couple of marriages and kids. Weiland in turn would have to have banged Rin's hookers.

Otherwise, the comparison would just be apples and oranges as far as essential superiority of character is concerned.

Of course, after all of that, maybe the longest survivor would be the winner.

And I thought about Rin...

It's known as Cassandra's curse. I see reality as it is. If I didn't have money in the bank, society would attempt to stone me for speaking the truth.

Instead, with cash in reserves, I can sue those who think they can f'ck with me. Cassandra never understood the power of having lawyers on one's side.

Why talk with lesbians when you can watch?
