| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Clapton asserts he never invited G. baker to join Blind Faith and given the ongoing war between Baker and Bruce, which had thrust Clapton into the thankless role of perpetual mediator, it makes sense that he wasn't eager for a reunion with either ... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: "I neglected to mention how much I dislike the attempt to combine Rock with Classical, a ridiculous notion imo"I don't know if it's ridiculous but I don't like it.

For me, it's not been a component but Symposium vibration control products-- specifically their Svelte Plus Platforms coupled with Rollerblock Jr. + footers under DAC and transport and a Svelte Plus Platform mated to Precision Couplers for my inte... | |

| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @bdp24:"I REALLY dislike music intentionally made to sound complicated, like Prog"My feelings exactly. I've listened to quite a few prog band recordings, on line in an effort to try to find one I liked. . . and failed. No-one can like everthing, r... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @tomic601:I did a Google search and apparently I and Joy was bought out in 1995 and then, at some point, they closed. Too bad... it's not easy to find authentic bagels. I was a bagel baker for awhile and learned the traditional ways... Ironically... |
