Two Years Ago Today We Lost Tom Petty, October 2, 2019

Tom Petty left this world two years ago today at the age of 66. For his fans, his friends, his bandmates, and his family it was all too soon. This month we celebrate all the great music he gave us, and remember how much he loved his fans.

Let’s not forget that Tom Petty was also a producer and mentor to a band called The Shelters. He produced their first album, and was at work on their second with them when he passed. It has since been released, and we have updated the playlist accordingly.

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We have a historic performance starting our programming day off at 10:00 a.m. EST!

the Last Waltz-2

10:00 a.m. The Band: The Last Waltz

If someone were to ask me the greatest American band next to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, it wouldn’t be The Eagles. It would be these guys. They had a career that spanned decades and hundreds of songs in their own right, after starting their career as Bob Dylan’s back-up band. The Last Waltz was a fitting farewell for The Band, with the likes of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, and Van Morrison taking part. Here’s the music. We’ll be live streaming the movie in the next few weeks.

3:00 p.m. Terry Gannon, Ph.D.: Presentation on Climate at the Independent Institute on December 6, 2017

Is it real? Or isn’t it? Terry L. Gannon received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering and device physics from the University of California at Santa Barbara. In climate science, Dr. Gannon’s technical background in semiconductor science (quantum mechanics, optical phenomena, multi-variable non-linear systems and computer modelling) has enabled him to examine climate change theories comprehensively.

5:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Hearbreakers: Deep Cuts, and Lesser Knowns

Tom Petty’s B-sides are pretty much as good as his hits, whether he’s with the Heartbreakers, Mudcrutch, The Traveling Wilbury’s or solo. Enjoy this one.

7:30 p.m. The Inner Sanctum: Study for Murder

Programming for Sunday, September 1, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! It’s September, and we are now well on our way to our winter of discontent. Here is your scheduled programming today, including a sweet new playlist from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

Petty

10:00 a.m. Steve Winwood & Eric Clapton, Live from Madison Square Gardens (2008)

Their combined musical legacy includes Cream, Traffic, Derek & The Dominoes, The Spencer Davis Group, and Blind Faith. Together, they’re a force of nature.

4:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: “Live” and Loving It!

Someone once told me that if you haven’t experienced the Heartbreakers “live” and in concert, you haven’t experienced the Heartbreakers. I have found that to be quite true. They were road warriors, and it shows.

7:00 p.m. Orson Welles and the Original Reading of “War of the Worlds” (1938)

Nothing could be more frightening that what’s actually going on here in America right now, but back in 1938, this scared the living shit out of plenty of people.
