My favourite from the 1985 “30th Anniversary Celebration Concert “in Central Park
This was an amazing concert and one I play often.
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
Oooops The Concert was in Madison Square Garden and was in 1992 but Petty and the Heartbreakers had been covering the song since 1985.

But her e-mails! Lock her up!
“Earlier this week, the prankster pretended to be Kushner and wrote to Kushner’s real attorney, Lowell, about the (fictitious) adult content of emails he had shared with White House officials, as covered by Business Insider. Apparently, earlier Thursday, when Lowell attempted to forward the very real letter from the very legitimate Senate intelligence committee leaders, his email auto-fill supplied the address of the very fake Kushner account run by the prankster.

Another chunk of Queenstown land sold to an australian billionaire – thanks so much for colonizing this land and then comodifying it and selling it for chump change to the mega rich. Meanwhile tangata whenua can’t even get a feed or somewhere to live.
Hoping NZF and the GP will go hard on overseas land ownership in the negotiations.
Agreed, and declare a national-state-of-housing-emergency! If real estate markets slip too fast, buy in with state housing on public-credit! http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/sunday/audio/201852897/there-s-no-such-thing-as-fair-austerity
Won’t be able to it for Australians. CER governs this and gives full investment rights on both sides of the Tasman.
Our Ozzie overlords – that half of our Big Four Ozzie banks are Oz “state” owned. And other halves are run by Black Rock and the Joseph Jesuits.
Calling out to our migrants in Ozzie to return back to NZ and establish social, environmental and military conscription programmes!
Sigh…..and all the prophets are leaving one by one…….
Just i n case you missed this with other World events …

Meh ,… all you Tom Petty fans,… a real white line painter . My memory’s of him was always being played in every workshop from stations like Radio Huaraki … in the background with his annoying , droning voice and his annoying droning middle of the road music. Still, he was , I guess , a notable … RIP.
I preferred this sort of stuff at the time :
Van Halen – Aint Talkin’ Bout Love – YouTube
Tom Petty’s music grew on me after I listened to the lyrics I started to get into his style he is a bright star that will keep on shining for a long time one of my favorite is
