I posted this the other night at about 6 am, when I couldn't sleep, through the Comeback Kid myspace bulletin. I figured if anyone deserved an explanation, it was those who took the time to add CBK as a friend and check the band out. Here it is, one last time. I guess I just wanted it posted here, like a painting on my wall...
"To try and squash any rumors going around I figured I'd write one last "bulletin" to give all you a heads up. First off, thank you all so much for adding us as a friend and giving our band a shot. It's so easy to get all big headed when making music, but the bottom line is, you are nothing without a listener. Thank you all for your loyal support. Never for a second did I take this for granted, and I feel like I am so lucky to have been given this opportunity and chance to travel, literally, the world.
Life is full of hard decisions, but only a few of them are as big as this and absolutely life changing. I was faced with one of these decisions. The kind of decision that keeps you up nights, tossing and turning, leaving your stomach in knots. I have decided to leave Comeback Kid. This band has been my life for the past 4 years, and I was a roadie for another band prior to that. I really don't know, or have anything else in my life. Saying I'm not "scared" about my future would be a complete lie. I just got to a point where being on the road for 10 months had become hard, and pushing to be home more became a conflicting agenda. Some would like to see this band go as far as it possibly can, and I was an anchor holding this back. I just wanted to play something honest, make some friends and see the world and I got to do that, and I am forever grateful for my experiences.
I wish the rest of the guys the best of luck in the world. Saying 'Goodbye' the other night was absolutely heartbreaking. These guys are my family, and my life is forever changed, thanks to their talent and friendship.
Thank you to everyone who came out, showed me love, and screamed back words once scribbled out in a bedroom. I am forever indebted to you.
Thank You Always.
Scott"

Home is where the heart is Scott. I know for a fact you touched a lot of people with your music. I am a testament of that.
your music means a lot for me, but i can understand why you did that step.
good luck for everything you do and thanks for those great cd's and live shows ;)
i have had so much fun with all you guys over the years -- it's crazy that so much time has passed already. i have always been so happy that cbk grew into something so successful & that you guys got to do so many great things as a result of it. i'm just glad i got to be a part of some of it...it does make me sad that you're leaving, but i know where you're coming from in the situation & it's understandable. it was great to see you this weekend. once i move into my own place this summer you & tara should definitely come hang out. see you soon!

wow, the fortunes of my stumblings are staggering, um, i'm not usually this quick to realize how lucky i am, but luck or no luck i feel compelled to offer a bona fide thanks for the privilege of CBK. forever a proud addition to both my nationality and personality. CBK is a comrade manifestation of collective aggression against uncontrollable definition. honestly, appreciatively and graciously, to CBK - Thanks for something. Scott, i respect your decision and admire you for it. Left for a Right direction, whatever that means comes to mind. while you might be someone i couldn't understand but so am i. livin on 28 years now and all i know is a tree grows into the dirt before something it becomes and thats as far as i got. Good Luck dude.

confucious say - "A MAN IS THE LESS LIKELY TO BECOME GREAT THE MORE HE IS DOMINATED BY REASON
FEW CAN ACHIEVE GREATNESS - AND NONE IN THE ART - IF THEY ARE NOT DOMINATED BY ILLUSION"
i say - "HIIIIYYYYYYAAAAAA"
