Stapp was a drug addict. Was that Mark's fault? Stapp's health was in danger because he was living DANGEROUSLY, and, as MOST of us have been saying all along, there was a LOT more than JUST prednisone that was responsible for his health and behavior. It's a funny thing, when you have mostly Jack Daniels, percocet, and zanax in your system, your health is eventually going to take a nosedive. It's not like he had Lou Gehrig's Disease or diabetes...Stapp's physical maladies were, for the most part, the direct result of his debacherous rock and roll lifestyle. Let's assume for a moment that what Stapp said about that remark was unequivocally true, and that it was Mark that said it, isn't it even a LITTLE understandable that Mark might be a little upset that the ENTIRE BAND could possibly grind to a halt because of some REALLY bad decisions that Stapp had made alone?

I'm curious, is ALL of Stapp's behavior and addictions going to be blamed on his bandmates, or has Stapp earned any of the blame himself?
