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.
