With Rutgers football in their bye week and Rutgers basketball just a few days into practice, I wanted to take a rare break in writing about my favorite sports teams and acknowledge the passing of my first rock hero, Tom Petty. I rarely skip a beat in hearing about a celebrity or legend in a certain field when they pass, other than to pause for a moment and think about how unfortunate death is to anyone, whether you know them or not, appreciate their talent, and then move on. Hearing that Tom Petty died on Monday upset me in a way I somewhat expected, but hadn’t experienced before, because he was a true one of a kind and knowing he is gone forever was a thought I hoped to not ponder for some time.
