Yep it didnt come easy he suffered alot in life from his father likly a narrarssascts and then his first wife Jane who likly suffered from borderline personality disorder When Tom finally accepted that he couldn't be abused anymore by Jane he had paid a steep price and was emotionally in a deep painful situation the trauma bond was so strong it almost killed him it's why he was able to overcome the heroin addiction he did so in the coming years Tom was a very special man

Allyn, It amazes me that you keep finding new material to share with all of Tom's fans, but greatful that you do. I grieve his passing more than I do some family members. His music speaks to my heart and resonates through my soul. Hard to accept that he's been gone 2 yrs. already. I know he's not resting up there...he has too many friends to rock the heavens with. 💘🎸

I've been a Tom Petty fan since the beginning. What I miss the most is that there isn't any new Tom Petty album's. I have devoured everything he ever released. Saw at least one show, every tour starting with The Hard Promises Tour July 1981. I miss his work. But thankfully YOU TUBE has LIVE footage, plus interviews like this one to wet the pallette. Tom was just a good dude. Genuine.

This is such an amazing interview, largely because the interviewer has so much passion for music. Would you believe, this is the first Tom Petty interview I've ever watched, despite having listened to him for 10+ years. It just confirms what I thought of Petty: he's an honest man who loves his job and expresses his life through voice. So very sad to have lost him. For him to say he's never been comfortable being a frontman, that's the secret of his relatable style, I think

Allyn Kessler don't know how to thank you for these incredible uploads. I started an article on the video for Swingin; and it evolved into something, maybe an e-book but what is clear is that this man, and his band, left an indelible mark on 3 generations of listeners. And impossible to not take him personally -- the most notable example is his biographer Warren Zanes who in Rolling Stone I think last year on the anniversary of Tom's death wrote about his fondness for truck stop coffee and his, Warren's, feeling that his writing about The Year of Heroin Addiction somehow had alienated Tom -- impossible, certainly not true -- at any rate, best wishes for the New Year and endless tx.

I enjoy how when all the interviews he's asked if he gets tired of playing all the hits over and over again. And he commented in one that yes sometimes it was hard to pick out what not to play. But people pay their money and they have certain songs they love. And when we start to play it we pick up their energy. What's not to like. So yeah we enjoy that and we like put new stuff in also..

I will say that what connects between TP&TH and the audience loyalty is, they don't follow the crowd. They lead and everyone else follows. Certainly there are similarities with The Byrds and a little of Bob Dylan but it's the Heartbreakers behind Tom that consistently reinvent there sound and that makes it hard for the critics and record executives to pigeon hole their sound. In much the same way The Eagles created their mix of folk and rock, Tom is constantly reworking songs with the band so that no two albums sound alike. That is what the audiences get every time and it's what brings them back. Included in that assessment is the work Tom did in The Traveling Wilburys. This is also the reason why he is sorely missed and he leaves an empty space where he once occupied. He would never say he was the best but we all know he was. He was all in 110% with every song he wrote. That's why there is nobody today who comes close to the high standard he set for himself. And let's face it, is there anyone out there who can argue that Taylor Swift is worth the $350.00 price per ticket for her mostly theatrical show. She doesn't even write the songs she sings.
