Goddammit.

Out of the many rock stars dying over the past few years-- this is the one that really hurts me.

RIP Tom.

Nothing from the Grim Fansome? He must still be holding a grudge against Tom due to Belinda's teenage crush on Petty. He once told me, "Richard Petty I could understand, but Tom? He enunciates worse than Bob Dylan and wears funny hats. I don't think he can even drive a stick? He strikes me as an automatic man and you know how they are."

I heard an announcement from Petty a few weeks back that this would be the Heartbreakers last tour. The gist was they'd been playing 200 plus gigs a year since the mid-70's and he wasn't up to it anymore.

Tom Petty is the new Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

RIP. I'm sure we'll hear lots of his music on the 43 meter band.
