I am saddened and heartbroken to hear of the passing of Torr Skoog.
I only met Torr in the flesh once, at a club in Detroit where Kings of Nuthin' were playing, but I feel like I know the strongest currents of his
spirit mostly through the songs he sung. I am proud to have worked with The Kings of Nuthin' on two releases and my thoughts and prayers go out to all
of those that knew Torr and those who were held tightly in his inner familial circle.
Only a cursory listen to the Kings of Nuthin' recording catalog is necessary to get a strong flavor for the individual that Torr was. He was full of
swagger, piss and vinegar, profoundly obstinate authenticity, and a sense of determination to carve his own life path with style, passion, and pure
heart. Time waits for no man, and we all have to face our own mortality some day, but I trust and pray that Torr is at rest in his custom made hot rod
in the sky—'A place to place our automotives no matter what those motives might be.'
