Exactly. Thank you.

@@MAGAMANPATRIOT this was all the way back when they first came out. The other guys were pretty much legends at the time and TP hadn’t been on the scene near as long. I would bet that individual has probably changed his tune on that statement today.

I can understand your refusal to accept Tom's death, it hurts that much. His death in some ways reminds me of the passing of his good friend, George Harrison in 2001.

@@markb202001, dang ..didn't think it's been that long !

He's still around, as long as everybody listens to his music, he's still alive. Especially the ones that pull on the heart strings.

What a great story Jim... Thanks for sharing!!! I 1st saw Tom Petty at the Lockn Festival in Arrington, VA in 2014. Sadly, prior to that, I had listened to others who had told me to "skip going to his concerts" as they claimed I would only be forced to listen to him playing 3 - 4 min versions of his greatest hits album. Well, he sure proved those people to be idiots for me. 🙄 Tom was definitely a highlight of the entire festival that year.🤩 He not only played incredibly, but he also did a fantastic job of interacting with the crowd by laughing, telling stories and jokes in between his songs in such a way that he made the stage feel more like he was playing in your living room than in a huge field in the mountains of Virginia.🤗 I was so sorry that I didn't see him perform more when I had the chance.🥵 As far as favorite songs, it is too hard to pick just one. However, as I have aged, and especially since his own passing, the songs "Room At The Top" and "Something Good Coming" have seemed to take on special significance and specialize for me.🥰 Thanks again for a great story about a great man giving someone their shot. 👍

Thank you for caring about this stuff, Artemis! : )

@@otisgibbs We both appreciate good photo and video journalism; your channel is another good example of it too. :)

Yep and I haven't even heard that one, thanks for the suggestion

Century city 🎸🔥

Funny you say that I'm pretty sure that's 1 of Tom's least favorite songs. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear it touched someone

@@Leel3ones89 Well, that might just tell something about the width of his songwriting. "Something Big" is another great song you never hear being played on the radio.

A cool thing about that song - on his live anthology record that came out a while back - I think it's like 4 or 5 records worth of material - and it's absolutely awesome - but anyway, the songs are all recorded at different venues and at different times during the bands life - and the live version of that song was recorded at a place near me called Blossom Music Center - and that place has a very particular acoustic vibe to it. I've never seen a show anywhere else that sounds like that place - it has it's very own thing going on. There are bands that come around here to play, and some of them mention that - so when someone is in my car, I always pop that version in and ask, "guess where this was recorded" - and everyone knows right off the bat. That version totally captures the sound of that place so perfectly - it kinda blows my mind every time I hear it - and it's such a cool song that some people don't know about. Anyway, I saw you mentioned that song, so I had to say something about it. Haha.

Norms guitar clip. Love miss Tom so bad. Listen to Chanel SXM 31. Amazing ❤️🙏

Thank you, Julie!

Louisiana Rain. The perfect closer to my favorite Petty record.

American Girl- it's all there in that one song. Perpetual optimism and death.

Girl On LSD

As a kid of the 90s I love anything wildflowers record especially crawling back to you. Also love angel dream and walls off that soundtrack he did. Dig the channel Otis!

Otis, this may sound confusing, but I bet you'll understand. I don't have a favourite single, and I don't have a single favourite... With thousands of records in the collection, my "favourite" song is whatever I'm currently listening to. ☺

Thanks, Julie!

Well said my friend, well said.

That someone obviously knew what they were talking about.

Thank you!

Thanks, Billy!

Yikes! That's a pretty big chunk they're taking. I just looked and I got $15.49 USD from KLH. Was that you? All apologies and thank you!

@@otisgibbs Yeah, Otis, that’s me. It was supposed to be $20 Canadian. I bought a John Prine CD last year that was $15 US on his website. It cost me $30Canadian. Anyway, lol, enjoy your half cup of coffee.😃 Edit. Oh, it was USD? That’s a little better for you.

I wish I could have seen the Traveling Wilburys Wow! I ❤️Tom Petty & Heartbreakers 😎 Last Dance with Mary Jane. RIP Tom Petty. You will never be forgotten. I saw both shows in Missouri and they were over the top. You can’t go through a grocery store they’re not playing Tom Petty you can’t turn the radio on a car that they’re not playing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers I think my favorite album was southern accents

I was in Fountain Square day before yesterday. I stopped by to visit my friends at the HiFi in the afternoon. : )

@@toastoftowne1076 For a kid from the cornfields- that sounds amazing.

@@otisgibbs How the neighborhood has changed, am I right?
