On Tom’s current tour he has been reluctant to play many songs from his wonderful new album, “Highway Companion,” as he is sensitive to avoid alienating audiences with unfamiliar, new material to the point of underestimating his new songs’ ability to immediately grab audiences and their popularity on the sales charts already. People know the [...]
Thanks to those of you who have taken the time to stop by and briefly or not so briefly peruse the new blog. In the coming weeks, I will start to provide more discussion of the Mets and philosophy and movies (particularly Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) as promised. I hope to continue to [...]
the amazingly talented piano/keyboard/organ player and back up singer of the Heartbreakers turns older today. Besides being an awesome influence on the band who flavors every song perfectly with the piano/keyboard/organ and who helped prevent the Heartbreakers in the 80s from turning to the disastrous synthetic means of music production by insisting on “real instruments” [...]
Anibal Sanchez pitches the only no hitter of the past two years after being acquired from the Red Sox in the deal where the Marlins looked to be just handing Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell away for nothing. Talk about crazy like foxes, those Marlins executives, huh?? What a story. Don’t pity the Red Sox [...]
I recommend a few days with gonegator radio online at www.gonegator.com. This radio station plays Tom Petty’s music most of the time and intersperses them with songs from friends (including fellow Traveling Wilbury alumns like Bob Dylan and George Harrison and many more) and his idols and influences. The thing that people who only know [...]
Okay, the feedback is rolling in as now we are up to four people who have attested to having visited at some point. Privately surprise has been expressed that While You Were Sleeping makes my list of favorite films. So, I will take that as request for a discussion of this fine piece of cinema. [...]
Heartbreaker: Pickin’ on Tom Petty, the bluegrass tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is really an exceptional tribute that every TPATH fan should own. These recordings of classic TPATH songs do not simply reproduce them with a more countrified blue grass vocalist and a little countrified performance of the songs. Instead there is no [...]
We started playing in April and have played 11 times since then, once each of the last 10 weeks. I missed the last four weeks because of vacation and academic responsibilities that needed attending. But tonight I was back and feeling some pressure to finally win, as I was one of the few people in [...]
How serendipitous that today—the first day of obsessive blogging on my new blog that will talk a good deal about baseball and philosophy—the Mets’ broadcasters have called attention to the fact that Brad Ausmus’s dad has written a book purporting to be a Schopenhauerian critique of Nietzsche’s thought. That’s at least what I have inferred [...]
