Darn, I just heard about it. A great songwriter and bandleader. 1977, German Rockpalast on TV, was the first time I ever heard of him and The Heartbreakers and was immediately mesmerized.
At that point in my life, I really preferred harder music, but the quality of the songs and his voice really gripped me. Plus he and The Hearbreakers looked great.
Tom Petty's preference for a good joint is well-documented (I saw him a few years ago and he and the band were stoned out of their minds, yet played flawlessly with the widest grins imaginable
), so keeping in mind that in Germany a piece of hash is termed "a piece", I'll salute with:
Unrest with a piece!
