We get tens of thousands of listeners on this here podcast network, but one of the most loyal and rabid fans has been Scott Law. He's also a great fan of exploitation movies and other fine cultural artifacts.
I could always count on his enthusiastic response to every new 'cast I posted, whether it was THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW, FLORIDA ROCKS AGAIN!, or TEXAS TYME MACHINE.
Last week, Scott suffered a brain stem aneurysm, and has been in a coma ever since. Those of us who have come to know Scott have been hoping for a miracle. Today, his wife Susan posted this on Facebook:
"Scott is stable and doing better. He will live, but as a vegetable. Meeting with lawyer today to keep that from happening to him. He was too vital and loved life too much to live like that. Pray for me. Thanks."
I'm pretty torn up about this, even though I have never met him person. He had planned on driving to Austin to attend the Sons of Hercules/Kenny and the Kasuals/Texreys show I'm doing next month, and I was looking forward to getting to know him better.
I don't know what to do, there's not much I can do, but I just wanted to pay tribute to the man.
