I remember my old man looking at a picture of Tom Petty (he had no idea who Petty was) and said, "that guy looks like he could eat beans out of a ketchup bottle."
I've never been able to look at poor old Tom without thinking about that remark. |

I like how he'd always go to a dive bar in Gainesville the night before a show and do a freebie for his hometown.

Tom Petty's daily routine;
Get up Smoke pot Go back to bed The man's life is proof that pot smoking makes you a unmotivated liberal. |

I'm a fan. Given his perpetually laid back demeanor, I was surprised at how energetic he was live - really a great showman on stage.

I can't stand his voice. He sounds like he has a permanent stuffed up nose when he sings.
