Creed front man is HOMELESS and broke//busy at work//doing animal things
Creed frontman is living in a holiday inn and his car right now. omg!
"When someone can have all their money taken out of their bank account and no one’s held responsible, when someone can get targeted by the IRS because of a clerical error, when someone can get completely slandered and lies made up about them and post it all over the Internet and there’s no consequences for those people, there’s a problem. [now mafias have a very easy solution for things like this]. lol.
Creed frontman Scott Stapp, whose Grammy-winning band once led the Billboard album charts and played to sold out crowds in the late 90s,
posted a Facebook video on Wednesday revealing shocking details about his current living situation.
“Right now I’m living in a Holiday Inn, by the grace of God, because there’s been a couple of weeks I had to live in my truck,” he said in the new video.
“I had no money, not even for gas or food. I went two days without eating because I had no money [didn't know the homeless circuit] and ended up in an emergency room.”
The former rock star said that a personal audit revealed that money had been stolen and royalty payments had not come through.

There’s definitely a problem. This is not the country that I grew up believing in."

ds cut off the journal... wth is it with that? so this is the rest of what i wrote.
This happened to Willi Nelson, when his accountant stole ALLLLL of his money and the IRS put WILLI in jail. Other musicians held a concert and got him out and a place to live. Its so sick. This also happened to Gary Coleman, but with that one, it was his PARENTS who forged his signature and stole all his money. his parents were also his \"business managers\" when he was a child. They got away with it, because they could hire top lawyers with the money they stole and Gary having NO MONEY couldn\'t hire anyone. wth. how about freeze all assets and both go at the mercy of the court.
i don\'t think people realize just how corrupt the court system and banks are in u.s.a. that kind of thing happens every single day - everywhere in this country and worse of course. we are also probably the only country that allows psychopaths to raise children, and even worse - become foster parents and teachers. what the hell?
when that lawyer in south florida was mugging people and forging signatures, he joked IN COURT that it was the \"easiest money he ever made\" the court ordered him to pay it back. he never did. hmmm. what a surprise. no surprise at all. total weirdos.
i can go on and on with this stuff, so i\'ll stop and rant elsewhere.
doing nothing. for the second time i forgot to get strongid (its dewormer for felines). still looking for the calico at the new house. grrrr. i also realized with the window k found open, it may have gotten out. who opened it? alex or someone breaking in. the whole thing is really pissing me off.
everyone else is fine. i can\'t find my flea comb and wanted to bring in another kittie other for adoption. also want rn to do her thing nails etc for the manx. k thinks the carpet in the master bedroom is causing fleas. he wants it torn out and the floor in there done. also reached r, to do the window. so some progress with that.
very busy at work. no idea why. reverse purchase and guarantees for loans upsidedown. no idea if that is for retirees and people with equity lines against their house. so sad with so many. had they refinanced in 2006 when it was still easy and values were still inflated, so many of these loans would have gone through. its really not fair, because people don\'t understand finance and wouldn\'t know to refinance and that timing is so important with ANYTHING with money. so many go for these super long loans and the truth is, its the shortest loan, like 15 on a house, that will save you every time. longer than that you are totally dependent on the market, up or down and it does both, even with real estate. this baffles every single customer, even people who you would expect to know better. \"known or should have known\" thing.
i posted this wednesday, just realized it says thursday.
That\'s a very sad story about Creed. It\'s sad for all of us really. There are so very many homeless people, famous or not, that have been totally ripped off by banks, the IRS or even family! Makes you wonder what ever happened to our sense of decency in the USA. Where\'s the moral compass? This is what we\'re bringing our children and g/children to believe is \"normal\" behavior. It makes me sick.
I hope that Creed and many others unfortunate to have to be outdoors on Thanksgiving or any other day, will find a church or place of respite where they can at least have a good meal from the hands of a stranger, because so many of us really do care about these people, pray for them, and serve them in line at soup kitchens. We ain\'t all bad! I just have to keep telling myself that.
I don\'t know why DS is eating journals and comments. Another point of apathy here! A support groups that doesn\'t keep up with the technical problems of their site! Many of us have exchanged e-mail addresses just in case this site totally crashes. I haven\'t been able to journal for months. I finally changed my browser and now I can journal, but there are still days DS eats the whole thing, so there are big problems with this site growing and the people behind it, just letting the volume ruin the effectiveness of this place. It\'s SO SAD to me that they don\'t respond to our pleas to address these issues.
Anyway, it\'s Thanksgiving and I wish you a very happy day today, 38! xo
