Fucking shite, three of the WIlburys are gone now :(

Yeah, I thought the same thing. A band of Geniuses and Jeff Lynne. Dylan must be shitting himself. Tom Petty was such a top, top, top artist. Massive loss.

When I think of Tom Petty I'm always reminded of a time when I was around 13/14 and a few friends and I formed a band. We only ever mastered two songs, one was 'Johnny B Goode' and the other was 'Free Fallin'. We did not do the original justice - but it's such a great song. A very sad loss.

I was listening to Spotify's "This Is Tom Petty" playlist on the way home from work and Runnin' Down A Dream came on. I'd listened plenty of times on K-DST while I was playing GTA Sand Andreas, but this time actually listened to it. What a fantastically produced song. Full Moon Fever's on there for tomorrow's commute, anyway. What a loss.

Jeff Lynne (ELO) co-wrote "Free Fallin" with Tom theres a nice article about how it was written hereĀ http://www.guitarworld.com/artist-news/free-fallin-tom-petty-wrote-his-biggest-hit-make-jeff-lynne-laugh/31865

The Wilburys albums are definitely worth checking out. Especially the first one.Ā The reissue versions have a DVD documentary IIRC included as part of the set.Ā 

Sky Arts are showing one of Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersĀ concerts on 7th October at 1.25pm

RIP Tom Petty

Kevin Cadle, the guy who hosted Sky's NFL coverage for many years has died, age 62.

Fucking hell, that's a kick in the nuts. Really enjoyed watching him anchor the NFL coverage. Astonished that he was in his 60's at all, he looked much younger than that.Ā
