The problem with  shooting  stars is they burn out. 

The reason for wording could be different charges

No idea? been been a Thai music fan for over 30 years and been to over 1200 concerts in Thailand must have posted over 100 times about Thai music on here. Carabao was a yellow shirt not an actual social rebel, that was just posing, when did he run away in exile? He was always establishment and a Prayut supporter who he referred to as his brother. Tata young started at the top with a million selling album, then worked her way down. She became more unpopular as time went on for her attitude, weaker material and 'charity' work, there is no evidence the establishment hated her at all and her name had nothing to do with her decline. If foreign names were disadvantage why did Jonas Anderson and Christy Gibson never have any problems with thier names? Christy had several awards for services to Thai culture, language and music. But then she had a different attitude to Tata. 

The whole notion of phua cheewit and rock singers championing the rights and aspirations of the working class is largely not true after the early days with bands like caravan. Luktung has been the genre which gave the working class some pride and identity, reflecting their struggles hopes and problems more than any other genre.

If you think multi millionaire phua cheewit performers give a toss about the working class you are the one who has no idea. 

Okay, so you're a Thai music officiando. You really have attended an average of 40 Thai concerts a year? Anyway, what's your thing against Sek Loso? Loso was a wildly popular act for several years - surely you would agree. I didn't know Carabao was a yellow shirt. I 'thought' he had moved to Philippines for a while to get out of Thailand, but I could be mixing him up with someone else.

Over 100 concerts some years. Carabao went to be educated in the Philippines, his dad was actually a luktung band manager and family middle class, from Suphanburi, home of many early luktung singers. Singers are judged in part by their conduct and attitudes, those who knock women about, take drugs and get involved in crime are not generally liked, even though the music may be popular. Such such is the case here, IMO.

He might have received a lesser sentence, or even got off scott free if his name was Sek Hiso instead of Loso.

Wow, that sucks. Didn’t know he was a headbanger like that. 
Strange ruling though: 2y, 12m, 20 days. Why not just say 3y, 20d? Or perhaps 1y, 24m, 20d, or 36 and a bit months, or 1115 days even?

Def. NOT a headbanger! Borderline bubblegum music.

This makes me really sad.  When I started coming here in 2012 I started getting into the music because it was fun to be out with friends at the local hangs and know the words.  The girls used to seem to dig it too.  Reminds me of a really fun time in life.  The bands in those early days were so good

Anything but a "one hit wonder".

He has been a successful rock musician, singer, and songwriter since the early '90s when he founded the group Loso.

He went on to an immensely popular solo career that was interrupted by frequent run-ins with the law.

His luck just ran out.

Yep, talented and has performed all over the world.

My friend was his drummer for several years so I've been to a few gigs backstage. Nice guy, very approachable, (forget about his later transgressions), and definitely very talented.

Ah, here's an interview with my mate about the journey: https://headlinerhub.com/bankok.html

Considering his violent past, not just in this case they had little option but to jail him.
