I was hoping for some kind of personal redemption story here but all I got is a story of leaving behind whiskey and cocaine for red wine and weed. Diet debauchery? I guess. I was hoping to hear how playing JESUS in JESUS CHRIST superstar might have made him ponder on the one he portrayed on Broadway, I was disappointed he mused on it but if his portrayal made him think on the life of CHRIST he didn't write about that aspect. Then Mr. Bach proceeded to piss in my cornflakes some more by accusing one of my musical and political heroes of racism, I'm sorry but I can't believe Ted Nugent is a racist. I went online and read Uncle Ted's account and I'm sorry but I believe Uncle Ted. The incident would probably looked different if you were stoned so in Mr.Bach's mind,who knows.

This was Skid Row's second single, following " Youth Gone Wild." It was a huge hit and helped the band's debut album sell over 5 million copies in America. A big reason why is Bon Jovi. This was told in a conversational and candid style, occasionally breaking the fourth wall by prefacing a sentence with "Dear reader" and sometimes apologizing for his behavior and justifying why he acted a certain way, which was a little jarring. He did seem to piss off a lot of people, and quite frankly, his abominable actions would piss me off, too. What I found most interesting were his friendships and working relationships with bands of the 80s such as Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Guns 'n Roses, Motley Crue, and more, but unfortunately his drug use and occasional violent episodes caused a few riffs with various band members. Eventually he makes his way to the Broadway stage starring in Jekyll and Hyde and Jesus Christ, Superstar and included a little of the behind-the-scenes information. I'll be looking for old videos and Broadway performances on YouTube. Mike from Brooklyn, NyFor the longest time, I thought the lyrics were "18 and life retarded, 18 and life to go." Since then, I've found the real lyrics, but I still like my version better. Aaron from Orefield, PaYes just to let you know luke, the penalty for first degree manslaughter is 25 to life not 18...the kid was 18 when he shot his friend, thats why he's 18 and has life to go There's nothing about Dimebag's death. With the whole 'Supergroup' debacle he talks about Ted Nugent dropping N-bombs on the set but nothing about Evan Seinfeld punching Bas in the head.

If it's ruled as "accidental" then it becomes a new ball game. but who cares this is a place to talk about songs on criminal law. if i wanna talk about court i'll go to Harvard Anyway, best to mostly ignore Nugent AND sebastion.
