Remembering Scott Weiland
(October 27, 1967-December 3, 2015)
Ted Tocks Covers - Year 7 - Day 100
Interstate Love Song
On this day in 2015 Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots fame, died of a drug overdose.
“Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
For what I've read between the lines
Your lies
Feeling like a hand in rusted chains
So do you laugh at those who cry?

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
MTV Unplugged 1993
Unofficial Europe Bootleg
Purple vinyl
Although this doesn’t sound TERRIBLE, it doesn’t sound great either.
It’s certainly listenable, but until somebody issues this with the MTV source from the board, this is the best we’re gonna get. Which is too bad, because this was one of their greatest performances, with Scott in his total badass vocal prime.

Got to see these guys in concert years ago and they included an acoustic set, so lots of memories. Jeff sounds a lot like Scott. He did a great job on the vocals. So, hats off!
Related to the songwriting post above- I just realized the chorus of the song I just wrote was inspired by this song. This is from 120 Minutes on MTV many years ago - I still think about this song constantly. The hooks. Scott was a genius.
If you've never heard/seen this and you like rock music at all, do yourself a favor ---->
This week's #ThursdayFiveList is #TheInsect. I love bugs, although I never boost em (aside from maybe butterflies?) because I know people have phobias about em. So here's some rad songs about em instead.

The good thing about growing up in a backwater was that I never knew that STP were maligned as “inauthentic”. So, I never had to pretend that this album isn’t fucking great.
If memory serves, I bought this from a mail-order catalog along with Pearl Jam’s Ten and Nirvana’s Nevermind. They were the first CDs I ever bought.
(Excluding Megadeth’s SFSGSW, which I got in a bargain bin and sold soon afterwards)
Stone Temple Pilots still fuck.
Hopefully they aren't or didn't turn into complete weirdos, I will not be doing research on this topic.
This is my Sharkey #introduction
You can call me Dane.
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.
And now, a hefty list of hashtags....

A song to represent where I'm coming from:

I've been a big fan of Stone Temple Pilots since the early 90s -- I was 12 when their first record came out. And I loved how psychedelic they got with the next albums.
I saw them BRIEFLY years later at a free secret show on Miami Beach - my friend and I raced there last minute & caught maybe 4 songs. Still one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. BEYOND tight. Effortless.
These are my 24 favorite STP songs. They'd make a killer double album. 12 songs per disc.
