The man above Me has a point. Stapp didn't necessarily make it easy for himself in the second half of Creed's career. It was as if he courted the tabloids, courted the notoriety... whether he did it intentionally or just fell victim to the same fate as many other lead vocalists and shining stars before him is debatable. But the fact still remains that when it comes to Stapp himself, he can't erase what ill he's done from the media's eyes; only time can do that.
