As someone who has been classified with an emotional disorder as a child I can only identify with the intensity of emotion that this world brings, and if it wasn't for my relationship with this plant (and the people who it brings into your life) I wouldn't be any different than Scott, i.e. a dead junkie.

So sorry to hear about this. It seems like some of the best musicians/artists are really tortured souls. I think the pain they experience in their lives helps with their creativity but it also hurts them physically and mentally at the same time. Some turn to drugs, some are lucky enough to be able to exercise their demons through their art without falling into the hard drug scene.
I was watching an old interview Scott did with Howard Stern about 5 years ago and he was explaining how he had to tour to make money to support his lifestyle. He estimated his monthly nut at about 60k in child support/alimony and other expenses, so he had no choice but to tour relentlessly. It was sad to watch that interview in hindsight. I'm sure if it was up to him, he would have quit touring and just started painting more or writing more books or spending more time with his kids.
RIP Scott. You made some great music while you were here.

Core was the first CD I ever bought when I was a kid, so many memories and road trips with STP in the background, I always get that back in the day feel when I listen to them!
RIP Scott, one of the best! You will live on thru your music!
