Get Well, Vince!
Monday, March 11, 2013 at 12:01AM Vince Neil is on the mend today. Vince got sick with kidney stones during Sunday night's Motley Crue show in Sydney, Australia. The show was shortened when Vince was rushed to the hospital.
When Vince got to the hospital, he was admitted for surgery. Nikki Sixx tweeted about the whole ordeal and mentioned that Vince is now doing fine and recovering. Before the show, Nikki noted that Vince was doubled over in pain, but the singer didn't want to cancel.
After his surgery, Vince took to his own Twitter account to post these tweets:
Huge thank you to all the paramedics at the All Phones Arena, the ambulance paramedics, the nurses, doctors and Staff.

Doc says I should have a full recovery and be back onstage for the Brisbane show tomorrow. Thanks to my bandmates and crew for your support!

Kidney stones are no joke. Perhaps, at Vince's age, staying hydrated & not drinking alcohol would be a prudent move. Given his past history,a really prudent move! One he keeps not making.
Culpable Negligence - (law) "recklessly acting without reasonable caution and putting another person at risk of injury or death (or failing to do something with the same consequences)"
Criminal Negligence - negligence, nonperformance, carelessness, neglect - failure to act with the prudence that a reasonable person would exercise under the same circumstances"."
And let me offer my support with a side of reality. Is Vince a drunk? Yup. Does he repeat mistakes the way a drunk does? Yup. Was he guilty of a crime? Yup again. And has he gotten away with other (alleged and not alleged) crimes because of his status, only further perpetuating the cycle and raising the chances that something could happen at some time that will be as bad, if not worse, than what happened to Dingley in 1984? Yup, a thousand times yup.
But what point does it serve to dish bad karma after bad karma? How juvenile is it to wish more kidney stones on a person? Why not spread those stones around? Give a few to the lawyers and the judge and, heck, the criminal justice system for creating a sub-system for certain people and another one for other people. At some point those stones are gonna come around and hit you and me (no need for a glass house in cyberspace).
Point in sad fact, Neil was charged with vehicular manslaughter and DUI, paid a fine and served the amount of jail time, probation, and community service that was required at the time. Right or wrong, that is what happened . . . in consequence of his actions, which led to the death of someone else.
Making fun of Neil's weight or his singing or his career choices is easy fun (how creepy is it to have Neil yell the word "Sex" at grown women and teenagers?). Even the more general "he's a drunk" stuff has its place. But does wishing him ill in any way bring back Razzle or change who he is right now? That sounds more like Blabbermouth to me.
Now can we get back to making trench coat jokes and singing every third line jabs? What is that I feel? Is that a kidney stone? Man, you guys work some powerful juju over the interwebs. I take back everything I just said. Just make it stop.
Oh wait. You didn't. So you can't. So you shouldn't. But you did. And you will. You know what? So will I.
My point was wishing _more_ pain upon him seems rather, well, like I said, juvenile (and pointless). Does that, any of this, help his family and friends to heal?
I wouldn't expect you to send him an FTF Bouquet or consider the fact that both of them, drunk, decided to go get more alcohol in a car, together. I suppose, given this logic, you'd be wishing more stones on Razzle if the driving shoe had been reversed. Again, it is just pointless really . . .
That said, I hope he recovers because I need him up there on stage as Sixx's puppet cuz I want to keep the original line-up crankin'.
