NPR‏Verified account @NPR 3h3 hours ago After skyrocketing to mainstream success in the '90s, @tompetty and The Heartbreakers were joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 Teaming with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison as The Traveling Wilburys; got Petty his first Grammy in 1988.

Tom Petty a rock classicist from the beginning - "Given the leather jacket and sneer Tom Petty wore on the cover of his 1976 debut, many people assumed he was one of those cheeky punks bent on tearing down the walls of rock ‘n’ roll. He wasn’t. It’s not that Petty and his band, the Heartbreakers, didn’t have their share of energy and attitude. But the kid from Gainesville, Florida, was a rock classicist to the core, and he built a body of work to stand with his heroes. That debut contained songs that stood the test of time, the snaky “Breakdown” and “American Girl,” which so echoed the Byrds that it confused that band’s leader. “When did I record that?” Roger McGuinn recalled thinking when he first heard it. Only a week before his death Tuesday night after suffering cardiac arrest, Petty and the Heartbreakers finished a triumphant 40th anniversary tour in his adopted Southern California home. His sturdy compositions built a discography so strong he couldn’t get to all of his hits. “The Waiting,” ″Listen to Her Heart,” ″Here Comes My Girl,” ″Refugee,” ″You Got Lucky,” ″Don’t Do Me Like That,” ″Even the Losers,” ″Don’t Come Around Here No More.” And so on. All are fist-pumping favorites........ https://www.apnews.com/034ab0e445d34ae8bcffa6ad111fda7d?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP

In October 2017, 25 film titles will be presented with introductions and conversations featuring series host Illeana Douglas and numerous co-hosts, including industry experts and contemporary writers, editors and producers (see “Schedule” for more details).

"The creature called IT is obviously not a clown at all. IT is an ancient evil being that is perhaps billions of years old, as old as the universe itself. IT comes from the void that contains our entire universe called the Macroverse (this is also referred to as the Todash Darkness in Stephen King’s Dark Tower novels). IT’s home dimension is a realm called the Deadlights; in the novel,....(see more)... IT takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown because King believes “clowns scare children more than anything else in the world.” In the novel, however, Pennywise’s real name is Bob Gray.
