Is he the last rock hope?Band/artist history
These quotes below are all spontaneous and unsolicited. Thanks to everybody who has ever listened.
Arrangements that remind the listener of the best days of the Beatles, while the outstanding lead guitar work is not only unique in it's form, but completely redefines how lead guitar should be applied to pop music. He can also command the attention of an audience with only an acoustic and vocals, and this is something few people can do well.. And lyrically,
Father Time has easily equalled some of the greatest lyricists ever in pop music. - Gregg of Sterling30
I've honestly had his songs in my head since the first listening. - Wheels Carbyde
You speak beautifully and eloquently through your music, in both shouts and whispers. - Jasmine Tea
Scott has the kind of attitude that created Rock and Roll in the first place. - Edison Freeman
I dug them (your songs) and I wouldn't say that if I didn't fucking mean it. - the late Jim Carroll (about my project with the band Coloured Vinyl)
the true American icon. You rocketh - Carol Lowery styles
Father Time is an internet legend - Phil Frazier
If anyone combines the spirit of Evel Knievel with Dylan, Johnny Rotten and Neil Young, it's Scott. If anyone is close to being the Internet Dylan, FT is the one.- Flametop Fred
He was the most famous, important handle to ever come along. Why else would everybody spend so much time posting about him? A one man industry, he carried the hopes and dreams of countless "me too" lil' angry mobbers on his mighty one hundred foot tall bad, bad man shoulders. It doesn't matter if Time likes it, or if you like it, he is simply the BIGGEST name in the OMD world. - Jingo
This perfect poet just lets it happen. Everything is original and magical. The lyrics he comes up with amaze me each time. - Zeeza
raw, real, gritty, and believable. FT is an icon for indie. Take a good look at your own lives and music, because none of you are any better that i have heard, not one! - Fred Thorne (Noah Spaceship)
I listen to Father Time's music because there's truth to it. Real happenings. Storytelling. A life. Interesting. A learning experience. Enlightenment. - Ash Ferry
His lyrics are fresh, original, and he tells great stories. - Lana Crowley
It has to be said - Scott is a great songwriter - I have seen it for quite a while. - William Read
FT is the symbol of indie. - maitre ka-fu
But there is only one last rock hope. - Mike Burn
I am impressed, this is one of the best productions I have come across on mp3.com and or anywhere else, and that is speaking from 25 years of recording and producing experience with everything from little porta-two units to 2-Inch 16 track to 32-track Adat. - Weapon X (about Scott's cover of Rock and Roll Woman)
He writes great lyrics - Ben Marble (The guy who said "Go fuck yourself, Mr Cheney!")
I like many of FT's songs because they have good stories and catchy melodies - he also sings with so much character and conviction - Jillianne Wright
Despite the flack you get, you ARE a Net-Star, you know, already. - Doug from Pigtale
He is a great songwriter - JDR
Your music reflects true genius - Jack Hobson Dupont
I am really starting to like the voice of Father Time. it has great warmth and personality - quite similar to the feeling I get from hearing Roger Waters sing. Bottom line: VERY good songwriting and very interesting voice. - Martin of Bassic
I really think that Scott has something. And I think that's why he bugs you all so much. - Paul Wehage
The tunes never stop, the rockin driven guitar is almost holy. - d.miller

The Sisters of Sharon are considering bedding the Future of Rock - bbChris
You have many great songs. You are truly rock's last hope, FT! - Mark Hewer
hi Scott, i've sure heard your name a few million times over the past few years. you are indeed an internet legend. - Bud Bennett
How does it feel to have arrived at the summit, be the numero uno dude, the flagship act, the poster boy, the spearhead, the most recognized name in the OMD world, the Marquee Dude? - Stik
yes, you are the future of Rock here; and well deserved too.... - David Blumberg (#1 ranked promoter mp3.com)
FT = God - Rob Tognoni
Ah, let 'em talk about me. Just makes me more famous. Of course, I don't think I can catch up to Scott, but what the hell. - Rod Underhill (one of the founders of mp3.com)
Father Time, I think that name is known by more people online then the name Bill Gates - KMP
I'm a big fan of your lyrics. Decades from now, looking back, I think FT will be the name we all remember from this place (mp3.com). - Rick from Paris of Air (co-founder of 1sound.com)
That light at the end of the tunnel? That is the Father Time train coming right at you! - Sonusman
I have been toying with the idea of a 24 hour a day Internet Radio Station devoted to the movements of FT etc ... I don't think you can really call that stalking from a fans viewpoint ... - Peelspeed
Remember when rock music was fun? When you looked forward to an album coming out like it was Christmas morning? And then when you got it and played it, the whole thing seemed greater than the sum of the parts? Well, this is kinda like what Father Time delivers here. - Bill Wright (the Wright Stuff) - about FT's first CD
you are the nearest person on this site (mp3.com) to the beatles - beatwave
YOU ARE the Marquee Dude!! - Larree
Well, nothing can compete with FT. He is the biggest dick of all. - Steve Haugh (Paisley Face)
No one is more famous than FT. - Cybernetic Organism (FT-cyberstalker who posted FT's pic over 500,000 times at mp3.com during his dayjob working at Bank of America)
What more can you say about the most prolific Indie writer alive? Sometimes I think Father Time is so diverse that he, like one theory concerning Shakesphere believes, was really like 11 guys all contributing their best efforts. He's the Silver Surfer of Rock. - Sandman
FT is a really cool guy, love him or hate him, you just gotta understand that he's one of the most exciting people around here. He keeps you on your toes whether you like it or not. Anyway FT, you totally whoop ass musically and you ain't afraid of nothin, that totally rocks. - MC Paperclip
You know I can still remember when FT first showed up, and nothing was ever the same again. - Jools of Blue Union
THIS however, is the quintessential FT song. It sums up the whole thing, the total experience of the Internet musician. It's a work of genius, and I would not bs you about it. Lest you stupid fucking putrid bullocks think I'm kidding, I'm not. I'm deadly serious. If you can't see what FT has done here, it's you who are terminally dimwitted. This is it. The essential musician's internet experience. - Lyin Dan (about the song Virtual Star)
Lots of people have said of FT that "negativity follows him wherever he goes..." This is usually said by the people who follow him wherever he goes.. - Panick
No one can hold a candle to you when it comes to the truth - Steve IannettiHave you performed in front of an audience?yes, and on the internet I play live
