## Resource

In 1994, Stone Temple Pilots hit #1 with Purple , but behind the scenes, the band was fracturing. In this episode of Behind The Song , Janda breaks down the STP classic "Vasoline." It’s the story of a band at their creative peak, even as their frontman Scott Weiland began a very long, sad goodbye.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
