Title: Journalist: How I Ruffled SCOTT WEILAND's Feather Boa Post by: jarmo on June 10, 2004, 07:00:22 PM Revolver magazine contributing writer Andy Langer has penned an article for the Austin Chronicle describing the circumstances that led VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland to refer to him in an online posting as a "fucking kiss-ass pussy sycophant bitch."
"According to Google, the colorful phrase 'kiss-ass pussy sycophant bitch' appears on the Web 143 times," Langer writes. "Every last one of 'em refers to me by name. "Granted, I'd prefer to see myself linked to 'People's 50 Most Beautiful People' or 'well-paid,' but in my line of work, a little name-calling is an occupational hazard. If you write about people long enough, some of them are going to write back. Not that it's any consolation to my mother. She's not impressed I'm yielding the same search results on the Internet as those I'd have gotten with a law degree. Apparently, I've ruffled Scott Weiland's feather boa. "What folks ask me most now is whether I'm pumping iron in anticipation of a showdown with Weiland at VELVET REVOLVER's June 17 date at Stubb's. He says he'd like the opportunity to speak to me further, but I think I'll pass. I'm going to the show, alright. I'm just going to watch it from a safe distance ? with three or four large friends. Come to think of it, reading that last sentence, I'm willing to give Weiland this: Maybe I am a pussy. If so, call me Yoda. "What have I learned from all this? It's proof of journalism's primary tenants: You can't please all the people all the time, and no press is bad press. Weiland thinks I screwed him, but I think he knew the timing couldn't have been better. By calling out a journalist, he made headlines in anticipation of his group's debut."

Hes on probation the last thing he needs is to start a fight with a Staw Wars nerd. Let him go fuck himself. Scott has alot of good things going on for him right now, I think it was all a ploy, and I hope Scott plans on keeping his hands to himself so Fans like me can see VR rock.
