Was just forwarded this via NPR (apologies, I'm loathe to support those Neoliberal hucksters pretending to be journalists).

The death of rocker Tom Petty in October 2017 came as a result of an accidental drug overdose with a toxic mix of drugs taken for several ailments, including a fractured hip.

The results of an autopsy were released Friday by Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner Jonathan Lucas.

This is why Chris Cornell's passing has me so bummed out

This week we received the sad news that Seattle rocker Chris Cornell had passed away. At first I was mildly grieved, mostly because of his young age. I guess it's been a while since I enjoyed his music. I found an old favorite, Temple of the Dog, and put it on. It moved me to tears.

This essay may have me come across as an expert on the Seattle Grunge scene. I'm not. I've never even been to Seattle. I just know what I felt.
