    ^ Barb, you subscribe to Netflix on your computer-go to their website. You can get the first month free then cancel if you want to. I watch the show on my Kindle Fire in bed. You can watch on a tablet, smart phone, computer, or TV if yours is internet capable, either alone, or with a blu-ray player, Xbox, etc. I have a Vizio, and can watch internet stuff on my TV, but I always use my Kindle instead. I hope you enjoy the show!

    ^ Yes Marion! I loved hearing so many songs from Echo that year. I wish Tom would play some of them today, especially Room at the Top, such a beautiful song. That's such a wonderful album that I don't listen to enough. It always makes me cry. It helped me to get through a heartbreak in 2001, too. That and She's the One.

    Yes, at arenas the casual and first-time fans want those big hits, even though, those of us who have heard them multiple times yearn for the deeper cuts. I feel that Tom really tries to balance the large shows to try to please everyone in the house. I enjoyed hearing so many songs at Summerfest and Noblesville that I had never heard live before. But I really yearned to be at the NY and LA shows. What a rare and special experience that must have been for those fans lucky enough to attend!

    ^ I agree to a point, Marion. Certainly, the small venue shows got the bulk of deep cuts, but the arena/amphitheater shows benefited from Tom's shake-up of the setlists.

    This year at Summerfest, I got to hear:

    So You Wanna be a Rock 'n' Roll Star

    Love is a Long Road

    Baby, Please Don't Go

    A Woman in Love

    Cabin Down Below

    Tweeter and the Monkey Man

    Rebels

    Melinda

    I Should Have Known It

    It was absolutely the best TPATH show I've seen since 1999 when I saw my first show. I think that the band deserves their #13 spot, at least. I would put them higher than that, of course. They're my favorite band to see live!

    13. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

    Fans who complained of stale hits-heavy setlists in recent years got a surprise this year when the Heartbreakers overhauled their set with deep originals and covers, including Paul Revere & the Raiders' "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone" and the Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil." "I think we have raised the bar a bit," Petty tells Rolling Stone. "Musically, the communication is really fantastic right now. I think in many ways, we have gotten better."

    Showstopper: Petty resurrected the Traveling Wilburys' "Tweeter and the Monkey Man," transforming it into a tension-filled, ten-minute psychedelic epic.

    Greatest Artists: Tom Petty

    A cross between Damn The Torpedoes and Wildflowers sounds very interesting. I can't wait! :003:

    Yes, Marion! As much as I enjoy Mojo, I would like an album with more straight up, rock 'n' roll like some of the older albums! I'm excited no matter when the album comes out! I love that they're recording live takes, rather than using overdubs, etc. It gives the music such an immediacy!

    I'm going to my dear friend, Roxy's, son's wedding today in Stillwater, Minnesota

    September 21st is my son, Nick's, wedding to his fiancee, Sarah. It's going to be a big, formal wedding. I'm looking forward to it. As mother of the groom, there's not much I have to do. I picked the song for the mother-son dance at the reception:

    by Paul Cashmere on July 27, 2013

    J.J. Cale has died from a heart attack at the age of 74.

    The death of the legendary Grammy Award winning singer songwriter was announced on his Facebook page today.

    “We’ve lost a great artist and a great person tonight. JJ Cale passed away at 8:00 pm on Friday July 26 at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla, CA. He had suffered a heart attack. There are no immediate plans for services. His history is well documented at JJCale.com , http://www.rosebudus.com/cale/ and in the documentary, To Tulsa And Back.

    Donations are not needed but he was a great lover of animals so, if you like, you can remember him with donations to your favorite local animal shelter”.

    J.J. Cale was best known for the songs ‘After Midnight’ and ‘Cocaine’, covered by Eric Clapton as well as ‘Crazy Mama’ and ‘Call Me The Breeze’.

    Born John Weldon Cale in 1938, Cale recorded 14 studio albums as well as his collaboration album with Clapton ‘The Road To Escondido’.

    His last released recording was the song ‘Angel’ on Clapton’s recent ‘Old Sock’ album.
