I'm glad Axl, Slash, and Duff are having a ball. Looks like it is a good time.

Also, kind of bummed no new music or effort in that regards.

Like you reunite the band for what the pay day? It's been a year plus and nothing.

It isn't hard to lay down tracks.

Again, happy Axl is having fun and looking good.

But, I don't understand the nostalgia act. It is very Beach Boys to be touring and not releasing an album. And even they released a new album on their last reunion. So make that 80s Beach Boys.

A greatest hits band doesn't interest me. And yeah oh there isn't that much money in making records blah blah blah. I think the creative process is key. You don't waste talent like Duff and Slash. You stop in to studios on the road or record on the bus or something. If it is the record label, well fucking just release shit and get out of the contract. Or you know threaten to go bankrupt in order to get out of the deal Tom Petty styles.

Again, not slamming it completely but, get some tunes out there.

I can't understand why they aren't doing the Super Bowl. They could have an album ready, and all that god damn promotion and do a tour. Obviously too late now as the act is booked.

Anyways, maybe Axl doesn't want the throne back. He truly is one of the last big frontman rock n' rollers. That have that special creative juice.

Yeah I hate Kevin Spacey. This didn't surprise me.

Shitty he used the moment to come out of the closet, and try to correlate both things. That was bullshit. Luckily the gay community and people at large spoke out against him.

Louis CK thing I was waiting for it to drop. As rumours had been going on for years, and literally when it came to me again. Like when is this going to drop. Boom. It happened. I mean jerking off in front of people is sleazy and perverted. But, he didn't rape anyone or physically assault them. Not condoning it.

One thing that I hate is how they mention Mel Gibson in some of these articles. And its like yeah dude has never sexually assault anyone or has been a women beater. He made an anti Semitic comment, dropped the n word (in a private conversation), and admitted to slapping his ex wife when she was shaking his child. Not in the same league as these guys. I don't think Gibson is anti Semitic or racist. He just fucked up. We all do. And he has paid dearly. If any allegations into his behaviour being terrible was true, it would have come to light after that police incident.

It still boggles my mind how Ben Affleck has a career after admitting to groping a lady. Or Casey Affleck with his allegations.

To conclude, fuck Kevin Spacey. And get consent people.

Yeah President Trump shitting on John McCain is ridiculous.

I wish I could get the guy's autograph or have him respond to something, but, no, I live in Ontario, Canada, and not the state of Arizona.

Man this has been a rough week.

My girlfriend said did you hear the news? I was like, uh Vegas?

Nope, Tom Petty had a heart attack, and may be off life support.

I couldn't believe it. I thought man he's going to pull through.

The news he was dead, not dead. And then I woke up Tuesday morning to the confirmation Mr. Petty died.

I've been crying on and off for the last while.

Fortunate to have seen him in Kansas City. Best road trip of 2017 from Toronto to KC to Chicago.

Warren Zanes book on Tom Petty, will give you a perfect picture of the artist and man, Mr. Petty was.

Still was making great records into his later age. Also, restarting his first band Mudcrutch with his pals was great. Both records are phenomenal.

Square One, and, Night Driver, are standouts for me on Highway Companion.

Something Good Coming, I Should Have Known It, from MOJO.

Forgotten Man, America Dream Plan B from Hypnotic Eye.

It sucks cause Mr. Petty had so much potential, and is now gone.

Dude was true to the music, did't waiver, wasn't a sue hungry cat like the Eagles, and had integrity.

He's inspired me to finally pick up my guitar and learn it.

All I know is the world is a shittier without Tom Petty.

I hope Axl does a Tom Petty And the Heartbreakers cover / tribute on October 8th.

I was fortunate to have seen him live and up close in KC. I kind of wished I brought my DSLR into the show now, but, oh well. I got to be more focused on the gig.
