I hope you are enjoying your holiday.


I checked the library Facebook and Twitter this morning for the library.

I read some more of Petty the Biography.  After his second record with the Heartbreakers, Tom Petty declared bankruptcy to get out of a bad contract.  He wanted to collect more money for his third record for his band.  There is a record cycle where bands go on tour, then produce a new record, promote the record and get ready for the next tour.  This book has a nice set of photographs in the center of the book, many of them are in color.
