Okay, let me lay a few things to rest right here
and now:
My overall opinion of Creed:
I think that Creed is one of the best things to
ever grace the face of rock music. Their music has become my surrogate religion
filling voids in my life that spirituality has failed at filling while at the
same time re-aligning my thought patterns toward traditional religion and
keeping all things spiritual at the forefront of my conscious mind. Scott
Stapp writes lyrics on a level that few rock musicians have ever ascended to and
has provided me with insight, challenge, comfort and a host of new things to
think about (or at very least new ways to think about a lot of different things)
through his lyrics and through his delivery.
My overall opinion of Scott Stapp:
Scott Stapp is extremely
self-absorbed and in some ways delusional about his success. He wears fame
like a pig wears a prom dress and might do well to make himself a little
more visible so as to get over this "I can't leave my house" mentality he's
cultivated over the past few years. Only now when he was looking at the
possibility of doing career-ending damage to his voice has he started down the
path of taking better care of it and I can only speculate that he has come
to believe in at least some small way in the whole "Brooding Messiah" façade he
exudes onstage. He upstages the rest of the band and in a fashion
shockingly incongruous to his personal life seems to feed off of being the
center of attention on stage and in his media life.
For his musical talents and the absolute
gift of songwriting God has bestowed upon Scott, I am truly and forever
grateful, but I just get the feeling that Scott Stapp is one of those
people who, if I ever had to endure spending time with him on a personal
level, would be the type of person who would give me the overwhelming
urge to just smack him one just being in his presence.
So to respond to what you said, yes. I will
"attack" the things he says and offer my opinions on what he has to say just as
long as I feel what I have to say is accurate and deserved. When and if he
proves me wrong, gets down off that excessively paranoid high-horse of his and
starts exercising a little bit of humility and pragmatism I'll stop looking at
him with such a critical eye. Is that all right with you? If not, your
delete key is located to the right of your main enter key. Learn how to use it
and STFU.

You guys are ready to attack Scott no matter what he
says. How many people read the link and had the same thoughts that Joe
and Lee did? I did not interpret Scott's comment that way. I don't
think he was trying to insult his sister. Chill, guys!
