I agree with Nightstorm (screen name used to keep the Scott/Scott

confusion to a minimum) that the Chicago concert scenario is absolutely

the business of anyone who paid for a ticket to see it. But as for

Stappy's life being MY business or not-----I MAKE it my business. I

also have my own life (and a very busy and full one at that), but Creed,

and especially Scott Stapp, is a small, but important, part of my life.

He is my passion and I DO and WILL CONTINUE to delve into and research

any and all information pertaining to him that I can find-----personal,

professional or otherwise. I don't tell others how to approach their

hobbies or interests and I don't intend to allow anyone to dictate to me

how to follow mine. As for speculation about true motivations,

skeletons in the closet or behind-the-scenes ANYTHING------everyone is

going to speculate, at least somewhat, in their own mind anyway, when

they hear news, even if they do not discuss it with others nor deeply

concern themselves with it. I just happen to be intrigued by Scott

Stapp, the person, his life and his history and I immerse my (very

minimal, albeit) free time in learning what I can about "what makes him

tick." No, you won't be reading about me being arrested for violating a

restraining order-----I confine my interest to harmless, non-stalking

tactics----but I do not see me ending my quest any time in the near

future, either.

I would not trade my Creed concert experiences for anything and I would

have GLADLY paid whatever the cost to have attended the Chicago concert

myself, had I known it was going to be something different. I love

Scott and I pray for his well-being continuously-----but every human

being has issues and difficulties in life and Scott is certainly no

exception. Those very things and how he deals with them are a part of

what makes him who he is and, IMHO, a significant part of what makes him

as special as he is. I have never claimed that he is anywhere NEAR

perfect, as I know that is an impossibility. But he seems, TO ME, to

have such a good heart. We have a lot of similarities in our pasts and

I can relate to and admire his lyrics so tremendously. His voice is

wonderful, IMO. The fact that he is SO EASY on the eyes is only icing

on the cake. For some, it IS all about the music---but not for me.
