Let me see. In about a year, we have lost Merle Haggard, Leon Russell, Leonard Cohen, Walter Becker, Greg Allman and now, Tom Petty. Too, too sad.
Petty and Springsteen were the last rye rockers. Now Petty is gone.
He was a Southern boy who grew up in the 59s and 60s and had the edge that era carried but he also had that Southern ornery attitude that was lacking in many bands if the 60s.
His music was always evolving, but you always knew it was him when one of his songs showed up on the radio.
RIP
