Scott Weiland: Part 3 - a podcast by Curiouscast

If you’ve ever been responsible for managing a group of people, you’ll understand when I say, “humans are complicated” …as much life experience you may have, you will always, always encounter folks who have gone through lives that are much different from yours…

You consider your life normal…they consider their lives normal, too…but the gulf between these senses of what’s “normal” can be huge…It all depends on your upbringing, your current environment, your family life and your state of mind…no judgements here: those are all statements of fact…

When you’re a rock star, the definition of “normal” changes…living in your celebrity bubble skews things…when compared to civilians, things can quickly become abnormal—although because of your bubble, you don’t realize it…it’s like as usually, even though those on the outside find your life very weird…But even by the standards of rock star normal—which pretty weird to begin with—the life of Scott Weiland was off the charts…I mean, when a guy like slash takes you aside and says “dude, I’m worried. You’d better take it easy”—you know that you’re dealing with some extraordinary circumstances…

This is the life and death of Scott Weiland, part 3….See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
