Mulligan Stew Oct 2nd 2021-Remembering Tom Petty

Episode Notes

I’m going to be remembering and honoring the music and life of Tom Petty.

Tragically,  after a huge tour of many weeks and months, Tom died in his home on October 2 /2017.

I got to meet and interview him the week Tom and the Heartbreakers released that first great album. The interview was in Leon Russell’s office at Shelter Records. Looking down on Sunset Blvd.

He was quiet, humble and funny. Great guy.

Now, I think of the music he would have written. The songs we’ll never hear.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have left us a legacy that tells their whole story.

The Stew ends with Breakdown (live) with the audience singing the first third of the song.

“you’re gonna put me out of a job”

We start The Stew  with Chris and Rich Robinson Live at The Roxy laying into  Lowell George’s Roll Um Easy

Then Santana /Steve Winwood followed by Larkin Poe

Along the way, we celebrate Sting’s birthday. Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, Ray Charles (twice), Van Morrison Live at Hollywood Bowl, U2, Al Green, Martin Kerr and Celeigh Cardinal, The Hip, Stones, Rod Stewart, and Ronnie Lane doing Every Picture tell a story (live)…lots more.
