some what over shadowed by the events in Las Vegas but news has gone out of the passing of Tom Petty. Apparently discovered in his home after suffering a heart attack.

Yes, off life support but maybe not quite off this mortal coil...
In any case, sad news indeed. Personally don't own any of his albums but know one of my brother's did, so delved into his collection to find and play.

I bet 99% of artists would give their right hand to have written any of the first 3 songs on 'Damn the Torpedoes'
 and Id like a dollar for everytime Ive played that 3 song sequence loudly over the 30+ years since release...such a defining arrival for Tom and his superb band. "I see music as a lifetime affair." [Rory Gallagher]
