I knew him through SiriusXM's "Deep Tracks" station, but LA, and Tom Petty, knew him as "The Last DJ."

Amused to Death
A tribute to Jim Ladd through both his words, and the words and music of Roger Waters.

For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
