Everybody say f**k! The Turrettes are a legendary pillar of the world we built for ourselves, a collection of fantastic people making some of the most fun music I know at a time when everything about the music community was changing, and we were doing our best to shape it in our own way. I can't even begin to talk about the number of times I found myself in the pit while Ben's unique manic voice swept us all along in a violent frenzy of profanity and dick-and-fart-jokes. Slowly, these people became my friends and later my family, and I am grateful for all of them. They were a cornerstone of all we built together, and their music still plays on my speakers a lot more often than perhaps if I were a fully formed grown up.
Real talk for a moment, I'm not sure how I'm gonna handle this show, and when I think about it, I imagine the millions of times I was in the pit with Scotty and so many other fallen friends slamming around and singing along to FU**IN EH MO********ER MO********ER FU**IN EH FU**IN EH MO********ER MO********ER F**K. It's a ridiculous thing, just silly young men existing in their own way, finding ways to make it through a world full of dumb s**t and bad sandwiches, but those moments mattered so much. And I'm happy to have one more, but also, I'm broken to have one more and not be able to share it with Scotty.
This Saturday, we are hugging and singing and cheersing and crying and feeling and saying our I love yous. Please join us and help us say our farewells. See you in the pit.
