Musical Interlude: The Waiting (1981)

It's been crazy the last couple of hours.

Just as I had finished my last post, I had caught a headline that claimed that singer Tom Petty had passed on from cardiac arrest. It has since been reported that Petty is "near death", and that LAPD officials couldn't confirm that Petty had actually passed.

If he does pass, it would leave long time collaborator Jeff Lynne of ELO and Bob Dylan as the surviving members of the Traveling Wilburys, the supergroup that had been formed in the late 80's.

Anyway, from April 1981, here's Tom and the Heartbreakers with "The Waiting", the 1st single off "Hard Promises".



Update, 10/3/17, 8:26 am (ET): Petty has indeed passed away, as he was pronounced dead around 11:40 pm (ET).
