After my short post about Las Vegas this morning, I thought I’d come back later and post something a little more positive, maybe even amusing.
Then Tom Petty died, and October 2nd 2017 can go right off and fuck itself.
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby I’m noticing the change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
truly one of my favorite Petty songs. Top 10? Maybe. The dude had a murderers row of songs though…
Here’s a bitch with growing old (the crappy way I’ve done it): Petty had 2 albums i’d never even heard of. Or heard. I am currently savoring Hypnotic Eye. At some point I’m going to dial up Mojo, but i’m in no hurry. My god, H.E. has some GREAT songs.
I’m so sad.
Yup. My copy of Hypnotic Eye was still sealed. I busted into it the night of his death (or when I thought he was dead, anyway, what a cluster that was). I’ve been watching some old videos from over the course of his career, and it just looked like he was having fun on stage. I like that. He’ll be missed.
