State of Prison Address

This is the message that our dear Scott Weiland gave to his girl friend who gave it to his manager. This is what Scott had to say:

"I'm alive. Are you? Sixty days into my sentence, just a message to let you know that I still breathe, think, and have not lost the freedom to write. What can I say about jail? It is one of the travesties of mankind to lose ones freedom, to be locked and bound behind bars of steel, but if the wheels of a mans mind are free to turn and the wings of his spirit cannot be clipped, than is a man truly in chains? And is any man truly free? Are you free? Free to shop at the 7-11 I suppose, or free to fill your car with gasoline, ever a slave to the Oil Company's that dangle inflation and deflation in front of your nose like a carrot. What control do we really have? What choices can we truly make to shape our own destiny. Choices and decisions of the mind and spirit, I am coming to find is where my power lies. My power lies in having no power at all. A bewildering paradox but one I'm learning to be true. True passion. Do you live to breathe or breathe to live? Are you just a feather blowing on the wind? This is not a life sentence."
