There’s a special seat in Rock and Roll heaven for Tom Petty

This post will constitute the extent to which I’ll talk about the Superbowl (which surprisingly, turned out to be a great game).  Tom Petty is the Man.  Period.  There’s a special seat reserved in Rock and Roll heaven for guys like Tom Petty and Neil Young.

Don’t worry, Elvis is up in Rock and Roll heaven too… someone has to fetch Jimi Hendrix drinks…

I would expect that kind of comment about John Lennon - but Elvis?  Harsh.

I think Jimi Hendrix will be getting more than just drinks.  ;)

Well… Jerry Garcia is up there too…

Neil Young needs to hurry up and get up there, Ronnie van Zant needs a new Butler ;)

BTW Derek, whenever I use your bottom navigation, the #1 gives me your 404 page…ie: derekallard.com/P0

Do you think Britney Spears will make it up there?

Oh and rock and roll heaven is Frank Sinatra’s hell.

Can Elvis also get Chuck Berry’s drinks?

I think it’s only fair.

Do you think Jerry was reunited with his lost finger in rock-n-roll heaven?

And of course Britney will make it.  Her life is pretty much hell now, so she can’t go further down, can she?

Hey Derek

Pradesh here, Glad to see you are still rocking on. I can’t agree enough of your mention of Niel Young.

One of my all time favourites is the Niel Young track ‘Old Man’.

I also love him with CSN. By the way I saw CSN live in 1996. My wife was pregnant with my foist born. The lights went out, and the band played “To the last whale.”

My wife turned to me and said “The baby’s kicking!”.
