there were a lot of enablers, many who commented on this site. the people who said "I saw Scooter last night and he was awesome" or, "Scottie and the boys were great last night". As a long time STP fan who first saw them at MSG in 1996, it was pretty clear that his shows were pretty much unwatchable.
Yes, but there were also comments about Scott not sounding great so it becomes a moot point. Social media has its place where ppl comment on things & half don't even know how to judge music. In music, it's a generation of American Idol; the downfall of music.
This is how social media can be, for example, I can construe your comment as accepting the side of the very enablers that did Scott in. So, you can't really put the fans in w/ the enablers cuz now we have to go into the whole stigma of sex, drugs and rock n roll. In a degree, fans expect that.
An enabler are those closest to the addict where the enabler thinks they are helping them but the truth is they are contributing to an addicts destruction. What I mean by that is, fans wouldn't be commenting on how the show was if the wife, manager, bandmates pulled the plug when Jeremy died. I think the fans would have understood. The death of Jeremy was a hard hit cuz it brought back the death of his brother. He took the blame for his death. If his wife loved him she would have pulled the plug. If his manager and bandmates cared enough about his welfare, they would have pulled the plug. Instead, they 'turned their backs' and allowed him to continue in his depressive state of mind. That's the reality. It's hard to stomach. It sounds like to me, she's playing the Love card. When Cobain died she was sayin' "oh we had a suicide pact" WTF?! are you kidding me. What kind of sobriety pact is that where band members are dying of drugs? It's easy to tell stories when Scott isn't here to tell his side of things. It's easy for ppl to believe when he was in fact a drug addict. No one would question it cuz that's how the media portrayed him so for those who heard his name in the news that's what the media talked about, so yea, it would be construed as fans enabling Scott if that's how the media cards are handed out; sex, drugs, rock n roll, right?
