Oh how the mighty have fallen. Vince Neil is now all kinds of smarmy. Don’t think I’m just bad mouthing the guy all willy-nillly. If you are a child of the 80’s then the Crue were your hero’s. The boys wanted to be them and the girls wanted to be with them, and we all had matching big hair. These guys were real rock stars in every sense of the word, and now Vince Neil appears to be beat down, bloated and broke.

Not only has Vince appeared on VH1’s The Surreal Life, embarrassed himself with that sad excuse of a band, now his new gig is as the face of Carnival Cruise Line’s “Motley Cruise”, a four day Mexican vacation aboard the ship Imagination. The ship sails January 24, 2008 from Miami, with stops in Key West and Cozumel and will include concerts by Neil and what Carnival says are “several other recognizable bands” that have yet to be announced.

If you are not too heartbroken after seeing your childhood idol fall, rooms are available starting at $480 with suites ranging from $1400-$1700. I think I’ll skip this one kids. I prefer my rock stars to age a little more gracefully.
