Quote: (Originally Posted by Dogstar) A lot of the entertainment industry is hugely image-conscious and Scott and the whole band were no exception. PR is also a big part of it and many times that duty falls on the frontman because for many, he is the connection to the band. That being said, I don't justify his lying, if that's what he did. What he said about Chicago disappointed me greatly. I wasn't there, but it's apparent from others that that aberration of a performance had nothing to do with artistic expression. He should have kept his mouth shut, end of story.

The handling of Chicago was a farce, it is clear there was liberal use of the truth and various people who went to the show have provided reports that heavily conflict with what Scott has said. You have to manage your PR carefully but lying (if that is the case how are we supposed to know) is terrible PR. Perhaps Scott is being 100% and I hope that is the case.
