If you haven't checked out "Who Is Erin Carter" on Netflix, it's highly recommended. The violence can get pretty gratuitous (almost to the point of being a tribute to Quentin Tarantino), but the writing, acting and setting are worth the price of admission.

If you don't already own the Deluxe Edition of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Live at the Fillmore, you're missing out. A must have for fans of Tom and The Boys. If you're not a Tom Petty fan, this 4 CD set could make you a convert. So many gems, including Theme from Goldfinger, Eight Miles High with Roger McGuinn, Boogie Chillun with John Lee Hooker and the rare B-side Girl on LSD. I'm not exaggerating when is say this one sits at the top of the list of best live rock recordings.

My biggest Tom Petty regret is I only got to see them once. It was at the beginning of their illustrious career when they opened for Nektar at the Santa Monica Civic on 7-Nov-1977.

Correction: the live version of Girl on LSD is on the Deluxe Edition of Wildflowers and All The Rest.

We have the Tom Petty Sirius station on at pretty much all times in the car.

That’s quite the interesting pairing! A southern jangle rock legend opening for an English psychedelic prog group. That would be just around the time frame that a relative of mine was in the band— I don’t know if it’s personal bias, but I think that era of Nektar (magic is a child) doesn’t really get the credit it deserves. I mean, Robert Fripp played on it a little bit, so it’s gotta be a decent album!
