My thoughts as well.

I feel like besides "Mama Gina" "Scrappers" is the most tender song the Steve ever put out.

Kittypants

Yes, and upon listening this morning "Riding Bikes"

Every time I see a picture of him alive and loving life with a headline about his death it is difficult for me to process it as real.

Was made aware of this on Bluesky, haven't watched it yet (Q&A with Greg and eephus):



Looks like it was switched to private. Ah well, it was nice.

Holy shit, thanks for the heads-up.

I started listening. I felt insensitive asking on here but was very glad to hear the responses around 13:45. Long live EA!!

Still stunned. It's good to see so many peeps rallying.

RIP FM Steve

That podcast with Vish hit me yesterday, casually talking about the future and all.

"Scrappers" would have put a lump in my throat even if Steve was still with us, given the content. Same with "Scabby the Rat."

The Wayback Machine preserved the lovely page Steve set up to remember John Grabski III. I know the text still circulates on the web, but if anyone gets comfort reading Steve's thoughts on life and death, maybe salvaging the formatting of the page and putting it on the studio's site would be good.
