Dear Vince Neil Wharton,
I write this to you as you sit in your jail cell serving a 15 day jail sentence for a DUI. I’ve been reading Blabbermouth and Brave Words/Bloody Knuckles and it seems that you’re a bit sad. You don’t like being in jail and while you recognize the fact that you shouldn’t have been driving drunk, you managed to state that your sentence was “a bit harsh” and that they were “trying to make an example out of you.” I’m so sorry that you feel like you were dealt a bogus deck. It must be so hard to be a millionaire spending a whole whopping 15 days in jail knowing that when you get out you’ll go back to your mansion and your millions and your manly looking women.
Mr. Wharton, again, you stated that you knew you shouldn’t drink and drive yet you did it anyway and now you think that it was harsh to give you 15 days in jail? You know what’s harsh Mr. Wharton? Taking the lives of three people in 1984. Do you remember that day? You were drunk as hell and partying. You decided to go to the liquor store to get more booze and you took Razzle (Hanoi Rocks drummer) with you. You drove into the oncoming lane and hit another car. You killed Razzle and the two people you hit were left with brain damage? Do you remember that? Well, I don’t know about you but I’d say that was pretty “harsh” on your part.
Any other person would have done some seriously hard time but thanks to your good buddy Doc McGhee and all the money you had, you got off with a slap on the wrist. You spent 30 days in jail and you were fined $2.5 million. Ya know, after this incident I thought maybe you had learned your lesson. I remember you even went on to do one of those R.A.D commercials (Rock Against Drugs) And I had hoped you had learned your lesson. I guess you didn’t because soon enough you were back to your old ways and you just seemed to forget what you had done.
In 2005, you told Blender Magazine that you should have been more severely punished, and now feels he literally got away with murder. You said “I should have gone to prison. I definitely deserved to go to prison. But I did 30 days in jail and got laid and drank beer, because that’s the power of cash. That’s fucked up.”
So here we are in 2011. You get pulled over for driving drunk and you stand before the judge. He sentences you to a measly 15 days for putting the lives of innocent people in danger and you think it’s “a bit harsh.” Well Mr. Wharton, shame on you. If I were that judge, I would’ve sentenced you to 30 days in prison for the DUI. Then I would’ve sentenced you to one day of jail for every crappy song you’ve put out. I highly doubt you will get anything positive out of this experience. I honestly feel like you need help and at nearly 50, you still feel like you’re an invincible young man that can buy his way out of anything. I truly do hope that you walk away from this with some enlightenment but then again, I’m not holding my breath.
Thanks,
The Great Southern Brainfart
