MICHAEL STARR ARRESTED!

Former Alice In Chains bassist charged with vandalism

We don't have a lot of details about this yet, but KIRO 7 Eyewitness news in Seattle is reporting that Michael Starr was arrested last night for "investigation of property destruction and theft."

Just who in the fuck is Michael Starr? No, that's not the singer for Metal Skool, numb-nuts. You're thinking of Micheal Star. That's different. The Michael Starr in question is the former bassist for Alice In Chains, more properly known as Michael Christopher Starr. He played with AIC up until January 1993, when he decided to leave the band (a.k.a. got kicked out) just as Alice In Chains were really starting to take off. He was then replaced with bassist Mike Inez. Maybe he spent years kicking himself in the ass for that, but who knows. Live and learn.

Allegedly, Mr. Starr was spotted pulling the hood ornament off someone's car in Seattle late last night. The guy who owned the car called the police and they came and arrested the culprit.

Rumors that the vehicle in question was a 1978 Ford Pinto wagon with fake wood siding cannot be confirmed or denied at this time.

Incidentally, today (April 4th) is Michael Starr's birthday! Guess he's having his cake in the clink.

The only Starr I care about is the tragedy that befell Frank Starr, the late great singer for the Four Horsemen. As their song says, "this is a song for absent friends"...

Who can forget the classics "Nobody Said It Was Easy", "Rocking is my Business", and "Drunk Again"?

Here is a sample of a classic lyrical masterpiece from one Frankie Starr:

HIT THE ROAD

You never said you didn't love me baby
When you were lying across my bed
You never said you didn't need me honey
When you were giving me head
You used to think I was the greatest man alive
Used to love the ways I made you climb
Now you got to go your own way baby
But now you like to call me a bum

Hit the road - Don't be coming around my place
Hit the road - I don't wanna see you
Hit the road - Don't do me no favors now
Hit the road - Don't be bugging me too
Hit the road - Don't you push it in my face
Hit the road - I don't wanna hear that
Hit the road - Don't play a turn around
Hit the road - Don't be coming back

Once upon a time I was you're only
That was when I used to pay the bills
Well now it seems as if I'm oh so lonely
Now I guess I need me a thrill
You used to think I was the greatest man alive
What's this shit, get a job, cut your hair
Got a feeling you'll be missing me baby
When I become a millionaire

Hit the road - Don't be coming around my place
Hit the road - I don't wanna see you
Hit the road - Don't do me no favors now
Hit the road - Don't be bugging me too
Hit the road - Don't you push it in my face
Hit the road - I don't wanna hear that
Hit the road - Don't be a turn around
Hit the road - Best not be coming back

You never said you didn't love me baby
When you were lying across my bed
You never said you didn't need me honey
When you were giving me head

Hit the road - Don't be coming around my place
Hit the road - I don't wanna see you
Hit the road - Don't do me no favors now
Hit the road - Don't be bugging me too
Hit the road - Don't you push it in my face
Hit the road - I don't wanna hear that
Hit the road - Don't be a turn around
Hit the road - And don't be coming back
