Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Here is the thing - I think Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are simply the best band ever. Straight ahead rock and roll with no bullshit. Benmont Tench's skill on the keyboards is unmatched in my opinion (and I have a HUGE crush on him) and Mike Campbell's guitar and writing skill make him hard to beat. But then there is Tom. The front man. Great showman and just your average every day weird looking guy with a strange voice. Love Love Love him. The best news is he is playing the Super Bowl this year and my PATRIOTS are there too!!

I have several "favorite" TP songs - so we'll just say these are in the top 10.

The lyrics to this song get me every time....



Look how happy he and Stan (the drummer) look - you'd never be able to tell that in 10-15 years Tom would be kicking him out of the band.


Really bad haircut and wardrobe there Tommy - but I forgive you.



They wouldn't they me embed these and they have to be represented so here are the url's

There was no good video for Even The Losers - but that would be there too.

This is not necessarily in my top 10 but I love the video and the whole trippy concept.



RIP Howie Epstein

Slinger - is it who you thought it was?
