                                Tom Petty: Aged 66 still performed in great pain on a broken hip to not disappoint fans.
                                Tim McGraw: Aged 50 leaves concert because he was "dehydrated" and had his wife say she wouldn't allow him to finish - cancels concert.

                                    Tim McGraw: Totally replaceable Nash-Pop frontman with no discernible talent, who has never written a song in his life, and whose generic "performances" are forgotten as soon as they're over.

                                          I heard this on the news this morning, I'm glad that there is still some separation between these massive businesses.

                                          That's all we need, globally, one less company producing chips.
