Not to mention with Tom Petty’s unfortunate passing, it seems like a fitting transition.
For whatever reason it’s Finn that absolutely makes my blood boil. He just doesn’t belong, in the way Billy Burnette & Dave Mason didn’t belong in FM. Not to mention the band got their replacement rock star-quality guitarist with Mike. Leave it at that! Otherwise the inevitable Billy & Rick comparisons are all too easy!!

I’m right with you man. I don’t hate Finn but to be honest I didn’t know his name when this first went down. But his being there enrages me for the same reason as it does you. It’s unnecessary and it absolutely leads to comparisons to 87-90 except that Campbell is in a different and better league than Vito.
