An inside look of a former deejay turned promotion man, Tom Petty and Me chronicles the career-changing moments in the life of Jon Scott. Through many serendipitous moments, Jon appeared at the right time to help get Tom's first album played on the radio, and that changed the professional lives of both men.

I loved this book!
Revisado: 05-12-23
The first time I heard Jon Scott’s voice, I was in high school, and he was the best album rock (freeform) DJ I had ever heard. That statement is still true. Jon didn’t announce as much as he just talked to you. It was like he was sitting right in front of you telling you about who was on the album he was playing the song from. Jon had a passion for the music he played, and that came through over the airwaves of WMC FM100 in Memphis, the third FM station in the country to go rock on FM. I went to work at FM100 a couple of years later. I gained even more respect for Jon’s talent for picking songs and artists that were worth listening to.
I knew some of the stories that Jon shares in this book, and I really wanted this book to be good. I didn’t need to worry about that, Jon excels at everything he attempts. Tom Petty and Me is no different. Jon tells his story of promoting Tom Petty and his records. The great thing about this Audible book is you hear Jon telling his story himself. You can hear the passion for Petty and his music as Jon tells you about his friendship with Tom Petty, his band, and his family.
This book takes you on a great journey, the ups and downs of a special friendship that will keep you grinning. As a bonus, you also learn how record promotion works, or at least what it was like back in the day. You meet a lot of other characters along the way, too. Tom Petty and Me is a great ride. Jon wrote a real page-turner that is short enough to read in a few hours. I couldn’t stop listening. The Audible book also has a few audio files that add so much to Jon’s story.
As I said Jon was the best album rock jock I ever heard. His passion for music and the people who make it made him one of the best promo men to ever pitch a record. Now, you can add author to the list of things that Jon excels at.
I rate Tom Petty and Me five out of five stars. If you love Tom Petty, this is a must-read (or listen).

In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change.

This would make a GREAT movie
Revisado: 12-30-21
This is my first John Grisham novel. In fact, it is my first novel ever, and I'm 70 years old!!!
I have always loved investigative TV shows and movies. After seeing the movies, The Client and The Firm, I was a John Grisham movie fan, and I decided to read his new book, The Judges List. I was in the sixth chapter when I discovered an audible version narrated by Mary-Louise Parker, who I remembered from the client.
Mary-Louise Parker does an excellent job with the narration. The story of this novel is also five star, and it's hard to quit listening. It's engaging and well-written as any Grisham novel is.
The Judge is a serial killer, and he's been getting away with it for over 20 years. His mistake was he killed Jeri's father, and now the stalker is being stalked himself.
This is a great read...or listen.
