      Scott 4 and 3 are incredable. In 50 years time people will be arguing over ”The Drift” and ”Bish Bosch” like they do now over ”3” and ”4”. Visionary artist - I love his music so much - and he was a really cool guy who did’nt buy into the bullshit of celebrity. Scott lead the way. The Paul McCartney’s and Mick Jagger’s of this world will be forgetten - Scott won’t be.

Oh how he understood so much of the human condition...his soul now reviewing a lifetime of creative expliration and pain. Glorious.
