Very sad. Tom Petty seemed to grow more into his music every year. He would have had a lot more time to make some great contributions. I'm really glad I got the chance to see both him and Prince live when I did.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised (and slightly frustrated at the time lol) how much it has changed in Canada.
Injury 7 years ago - "Could I get Percocet refill?" "Yep, how many do you want?"
Injury 2 years ago - "Here's enough to withstand the pain for the next week when it will be at it's worst, that's all this is for, there will be no refills, we will move on to strong tylonal from there".
No doubt that was directive from higher up to stop handing out additive prescriptions pills like candy.
