steve touched countless lives and changed mine and many others for the better. a genuine, singular, principled person. spent the last 40 years helping people make art. there's no reason for him to be gone and the world is less interesting without him. just a really sad day.

need to figure out a way to give awards for bands that are good at touring. can you pack a van and see out the back window? can you drive 8 hours without stopping? can you load in/soundcheck within 45 minutes of arriving at the venue? these are important things that go unnoticed
