Well, look. Scott's either going to hit "rock bottom" and get himself clean like he did after jail in 1999 or he's going to die young, like Philip Seymour Hoffman. That's really it, I think.
About once a month my mind wanders and wonders if I will wake up one morning soon and it will be him dead. Most ODs occur from mixing drugs. So if Scott is still taking prescription meds and drinking all day, every day, the odds of an OD are pretty good.
Question is, what is rock bottom for him? It's not being fired from his only two bands. It's not lackluster sales for his solo release, low attendance for solo gigs, or poor performances.
Soooo will it be his kids not wanting to come around drunk-high daddy? Will it be embarrassing his kids? Will it be an OD he survives? Getting arrested again in a prescription pill raid?
I've no idea. If it is gonna happen, I hope it happens soon. Otherwise, we will all wake up that morning and finally hear....
