              Tom Petty: Real musician and songwriter with actual talent, whose music will live on for ages.

              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.

                              A year in, is anybody left of the original cabinet? I think everybody has quit or been fired.

                                Sounds like how things were before Americans threw the tea in the harbour! Norwegians traveling to Sweden for cheaper sugar.

                                        That's sad. I remember watching a video of him in my Astronomy class and made the class more interesting.
