Yes I'm fan, sorry to hear he's passed. I graduated high school in 1970 so I am a classic rock fan even to this day.
Ken you said it 'Sucks getting old', well just remember we got to see all the good bands. The Moody Blues, Santana, Crème, Bob Seger, etc. I grew up in Harper Woods, a small city, like 1 x 1.5 miles on the north border of Detroit and west border of Grosse Point. Anyway I saw Bob Seger play at a Friday night dance in our high school gym. Look at him now. I know I'm rambling, just thinking back to the days when these guys weren't super stars and we got to see them in small local venues.
Okay I'm done, sorry to hear Tom Petty is gone, 40+ years of great music.
