ON MAY 25TH, 2007 WE ALL LOST A FRIEND AND A GENUINE PIONEER OF THE BAKERSFIELD MUSIC SCENE: SCOTT "SLIM THE DRIFTER" STURTEVANT.
HE WAS UNCOMPROMISING, HUMBLE, STUBBORN, A REAL SCHOOL PUNK AND ONE OF THE GENUINE GOOD ONES. HE DIDN'T BLAZE A TRAIL, HE LIT THE FUCKING ROAD ON FIRE, LIT A CIGARETTE WITH IT AND WALKED THROUGH IT WITH HIS OLD PAIR OF COWBOY BOOTS AND A CROOKED SQUINT. YOU MADE US SPEECHLESS, FUCKER; UTERRLY IMPOSSIBLE THE OTHER WAY AROUND. YOU ARE MISSED.
IF YOU'VE EVER MIXED 80'S, PUNK, WESTERN, OR FOLK ON AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR, GOTTEN OUT THERE AND PLAYED YOUR ASS OFF NOT GIVING A DAMN WHAT ANYONE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW WHY WE'RE AT A LOSS. OUR MUSIC SCENE HAS LOST ONE OF THE REAL ONES. HE WAS AS COMPLEX AS A POEM BUT AS SIMPLE AS A METAPHOR. HE WAS WHAT HE WAS AND NO ONE PICTURE WILL EVER DO JUSTICE TO THE MAN THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED.
WE WISH OUR HUMBLEST CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND AFTER THE LOSSES OF OTHER GOOD FRIENDS AND FAMILY WE'VE HAD IN JUST THIS LAST YEAR WE TOAST ALL OF YOUR MEMORIES AND TO THE FIRES YOU ALL LEFT IN OUR HEARTS TO FILL THE VOIDS YOU ALL LEFT BEHIND.
