Tom Petty is the man

Tom PettyI’m really enjoying the recent, long overdue trend of artists willing to speak their mind against the practices of the record industry, like the mention I made of Don Henley last week. In the wake of Tom Petty’s latest album, The Last DJ, Rolling Stone’s interview with Tom Petty shows that he is not afraid to speak his mind. The title track of the song has apparently been banned from some radio stations because it is seen as a slap in the face; the track laments the fact that DJs no longer have any freedom and are forced by corporations to play canned playlists. I highly recommend the album, and after reading this article I am that much more glad that I am supporting artists like him.
