News Today's Music News: Tom Petty Loves PB&J, Madonna's Super Bowl Set List, Freddie Gibbs Keeps Everything in His Luggage

Posted by Jackson Hathorn on Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 11:36 AM

Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys Tour: It's been 46 years since Wilson last toured with one of the most iconic American bands ever, as they hit the road together starting in April.

Tom Petty's Favorite Sandwich is Peanut Butter & Jelly: He revealed many other dark secrets during a recent Twitter Q&A fan question free-for-all.

Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime Show Set List: Madge's performance will include a new single called (gulp) "Gimme All Your Luvin'" and the throwback "Holiday," but otherwise sticks to her 90s adult contemporary era (Music and Ray of Light).

Indonesian Punks: A punk rock show in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, was broken up by police and many of the concert goers were arrested. As part of the moral rehabilitation that followed, youths had their heads shaved, and were forced to bathe in a lake/do a lot of praying. Over 65 people currently remain detained and will not be released for 10 days.

The Last Holiday: That's the title of Gil Scott-Heron's posthumous memoir, to be released this coming January, and you can listen to Heron read an excerpt right over here.

Freddie Gibbs' Weed Returned: After Gibbs' luggage was inspected at an airport, a TSA agent decided not to confiscate weed found therein, but instead left it alone and wrote a note simply saying "C'mon Son."

RIP Stuart Adamson: Leader of the Skids and Big Country committed suicide 10 years ago today. Here's a song I always hear in QFC, and when the mouthful line "I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered/But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered" hits, I know to get the hell out of the frozen foods section.
