However, more shocking than the contents of Nelly's bus (and the fact that he's still getting gigs) is that he's not alone in having his joyride go wrong. Not only have several musicians been stopped and busted on that same stretch of Texas highway, but also many others have been apprehended while on the go as well.
Here's our round up of the most noteworthy in-transit musical drug busts, or as Nelly would say, a list of, um, "Party People."

When you make music that turns out to be Willie Nelson George Michael or Peter Allen (now AIDS dead) you do need drugs. And you need even stronger drugs to listen to their sh*t.
Many young "musicians" like "Monkey" Mariah Carey, female impersonator Britney Spears and transvestite Madonna take drugs so that they can get through the mimming on stage whilst ripping off millions of fans.
And take dangerous drugs these cheats do. But I do not feel sorry one bit for them when they die like dogs, discarded and bloated from overdoses, or when they are bankrupted or ripped off by gangster managers because it is a life they chose. A life of deceptin and self indulgence at the expense of millions of young impressionable kids who go on to do drugs because their "idols" did it.
I never dreamed that Mick Jagger for instance would be caught pushing in David Bowies stool Like Elton makes a virtue of. But after a long spell of coke any hole will do.
Fiona Apple was 19 when she made the video and was HOT as hell ....and still is!

October 21 2012 at 8:31 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyBusted sure but how much time did they do? 8 minutes like Lindsay Lohan or whoever it was? What if they found that in my car, an average civilian? I'd still be in jail from a drug bust 20 years ago.
October 21 2012 at 11:01 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThe fact is, if you don't USE illegal drugs, you don't get busted for them. The musicians are stupid for using them in the first place. They don't need them for anything and they are just supporting the Drug Cartels murder and mayhem with their purchases.
October 21 2012 at 9:50 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIf these so called rock stars were punished at the same level as the average Joe, such antics would disappear overnight. Well except for the truly stupid.
October 21 2012 at 8:35 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyhow can this "media" actually say "unexpected" star caught with drugs??? that gangsta thug loser would be the first thought of a drug head!! what is wrong with you people???!!!
