Jason Aldean Opens SNL

Once again, SNL showed it's expertise on integrating tragedy into a comedy show.  Jason Aldean was on stage during the Las Vegas shooting.  He also tied in the death of Tom Petty with his choice of song.

So Long Tom Petty

On a dismal day when America was mourning the Las Vegas shooting, word has been received that rock icon Tom Petty was stricken with a heart attack that would prove fatal.  I first heard of Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers on the underground University Of Idaho station, it wasn't long before he was a household name with songs like" Breakdown", "Refugee", And "Free Falling". 
His duet with Stevie Nicks, "Stop Draggin My Heart Around" became an almost instant rock classic.  Petty hailed from Gainesville, Florida.  He was 66.
