Trey Anastasio pleaded guilty today to the charges resulted from his arrest with a boatload of pills and heroin last December. He's getting a fairly stiff sentence, but no jail time...unless he royally messes up. I say stiff considering the transient rock-star life he has been accustomed to. Not only does he have to move to Whitehall, NY for a least three months due to daily drug testing, but if he slips up once, he could be sent away for one to three years. He's got five years of probation to serve after his court drug program is complete. Quite a life change for him I'm guessing.
I'm not sure what to think of it myself, other than sadness. It's been obvious to many that he has had a problem for years. Just makes me sad to think it come to this. I'm not one to pass judgement, it really could have happened to any of us back in our younger years. Granted, the difference is the severity of the charges and the fact he is 42. And in that respect, it probably could have been much worse for him. Here's hoping he comes through a better person.
