Quote
of
the
Week
9/10/99
A superior court judge this
week sentenced Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland to nearly a year
in jail for violating his parole by using drugs. Weiland, who was
originally arrested for drug possession in 1995, was also treated for an
overdose in July of this year.
Upon sending him to prison,
the judge noted that Weiland is "killing himself" and "has to be punished."
