One of my favorite deep cuts from Stone Temple Pilot’s Core. This album was a game changer for me. Rough news tonight from the West Coast via Dave Navarro on Twitter that Scott Weiland died. Damn. One of the greatest front men of the 1990s, possibly of all time. I remember exactly where I was… Continue reading Rest Easy, Scott Weiland
