    Lots of talk about his drug addiction, but none about him being bipolar. "Getting your shit together" is not easy to do when you're bipolar.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. It's so damn easy to judge others, especially online.

    his wife said he was clean, still smoked cigarettes and drank socially.

    STP's music had a bigger impact on me than PJ...just in a different way.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I was pretty bummed out about this. I sort of fell off the wagon when No. 4 came out and I was disappointed in it, but during high school I was a HUGE STP fan. I wore out Purple and Tiny Music and saw them live with Local H shortly before their tour fell apart and Scott went to rehab. But after No. 4 I just stopped paying attention, I'd hear a new song and not particularly like it. I downloaded the last couple of albums with the intention of listening and never did and I bought that Live In Chicago DVD but never watched it. While I still go back and listen to the first 3 albums a lot (as well as Scott's first solo album and Talk Show), I really didn't keep up with what Scott was doing, or the band. I didn't know he was still partying hard, so while I shouldn't have been surprised to hear about his death, it came out of the blue. I was listening to a local sports radio station called The Ticket here in Dallas and they were paying a little tribute to him, because back in '99 he came in the studio with Dean and they did an acoustic set. Which they played and it was amazing. They did an amazing version of Sour Girl, which isn't even a favorite of mine.

    I read on Twitter that Wolfmother is playing a free STP show.

    Does anyone know of this?

    If you're "not surprised" why do feel the need to say that you're not surprised? I mean, it's one thing to feel that way, but I don't know why everyone feels the need to announce that they feel that way. Yes, we all know Scott struggled with demons. It would be more respectful to talk positively about how he & his music impacted your life and leave it at that.

    Hey one person posted this, but Shangri la dee da is a great album. Underrated. Most people cite Core and Purple but they kept writing some good music. Shangri had 4-5 great songs and a bunch of other good songs.

    I actually love Tiny Music and No. 4. Both way underrated.
