    Tom was found unconscious in his home last night. He was taken to the hospital and put on life support, but unfortunately they took him off the life support this morning and he passed away,

    Not the time or the place for any personal opinion, except to say that it's a very very sad day. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's tragic. Rich

    Tom did more for the music industry, than his peers. He was signed as a new upstart, very young. The label that hired him stole everything from him during his contractual agreement with them. When "Damn the Torpedo's was in production, Tom told the mixer, to hide the tapes off site, every night, and don't tell him, or them, where they were. They came after him for breach, however Tom prevailed, with bankruptcy, cutting the cord. Fellow musicians followed suit. He started making real money after that. When all that was done, MCA, wanted to raise the album prices to $9.98 each for all musicians. A move created by Paul McCartney. Tom stepped up & said now effin way! He wanted to keep the prices at $8.98. They stayed. WTF is wrong with the forums?? Grammatical guidelines, out the window???
