Tom Petty

It was another week of losing a rock star – this time Tom Petty. It’s becoming more and more regular that we are losing the beloved rock stars of not too long ago. Chuck Berry died in March, but he was 90 years old. Tom Petty was just 60 years old, so we lost him earlier than we should have (similar to Prince). We don’t know the cause of death yet for Tom – was it possibly related to his earlier heroin usage?

We’ll lose more rock stars in the coming months and years, some older, some younger. It’s the new normal. We’ll honor Tom in today’s podcast, along with Peter Gabriel, Protomartyr, Tindersticks, David Bowie, the Left Banke, Fairport Convention, Tom Petty, Traveling Wilburys, Lone Justice, Maria McKee, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Treat Her Right, the Ruts, and the Beatles.
