Well, Well, Well, It appears that Our friend Mr. Stapp has had himself a little accident. Now I'm not one to ever wish misfortune upon anyone. That would be hypocritical of me, but it seems that Scott has cancelled the whole rest of his North American tour. The extent of his injuries has not yet been released to the media or the public, so we can't see how injured he appears to be. Scott has had his fair share of fights lately, and it would appear that what goes around has come around. This is just one point of view of, I'm sure, millions that exist. But sometimes fate does work in mysterious ways. Though I do not like the music that this man makes, nor do I like his character from what I've heard. But I have never met him and would not wish extreme harm upon him, So I wish the lead singer a speedy recovery, so he can continue his crappy tour and we can all partake in enjoying the mountain of Suckage that is Creed.
