DAILY DOZEN: NEW PETTY/MILLER CDS

A few times a year there are days when one of my music heroes releases a new CD (I still want to call it an album). Today is one of those days, but better. Two of my all-time favorites have new material in the stores today. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are releasing "MOJO" and the Steve Miller Band is releasing "Bingo !". So, as you can probably tell, I'll be doing some listening today. In the meantime, here's some background on the CDs and on the careers of these Rock & Roll legends.
