Robert D. - I think the main reason is obvious, but since you asked - because I like it. Because I think it's interesting. I like how the usual STAX musicians are adapting their soul style on it, The guitar player is doing some great stuff, drummer too. That's why.

Petty had a fractured hip and as he continued the 50+ date tour the fracture progressed to a full break which is said to be hideously painful. He seems to have been taking a wide variety of drugs for pain, and apparently wasn't as careful as he should've been.

Re. Blood Oranges, I saw them play a reunion show in 2001, and I've heard about a one-off or two, but my understanding has been that Cheri Knight put music behind her and hasn't wanted to do it again. Shame, and her two solo records are top-notch. https://www.riverfronttimes.com/stlouis/twang-time/Content?oid=2471652

Guy Walker:

Michael, I hear you. At the University of New Mexico and at Harvard new research has spurred on new studies of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine. More and more DNA evidence concludes our ancestors imbibed. John Allegro in his very flawed translations in Christianity And The Sacred Mushroom illustrated correctly humankind has a deep connection to other realms through the intake of certain plants. The political ramifications over the centuries have complicated humankind's relationship with these plants. The synthetic man made chemicals that kill every day are the problem. A full DMT experience not only satisfies, it sobers to what is a truly creative response.
