A beer and a sunny back porch go well with this song.

50% Dylan + 50% Springsteen = Tom Petty (shaken not stirred)

...and the rockstar glamour. Petty could look like the south end of a northbound hippo and he'd still attract fans and groupies I'm sure. He does have a distinct doggy look on that album cover, though. |

Echoing the sentiments of many on this song - it sounds better as time progresses. Campbell, Tench and Petty make up a potent 1-2-3 punch for guitar, keyboards and vox. Much appreciation to these guys.
Yep, it's aged pretty well. I saw Tom & the HB's in '79 touring this album. Great show. Who'da guessed he'd still be gettin' it done 30 years later?! |

Don't understimate the value of simply being a musician. It's cliche but I believe it's true. My short-lived time in a band was 180 degrees different than the rest of my life in regards to meeting women. Being a GOOD musician probably makes it even stronger ;) Lyndra_Ski wrote:Not a pretty boy - but ALL the girls had a crush on him when I was in college...it's that sad puppy dog thing I think...

Yes. His solo on "Refugee" is one of the finest ever. I love his posture in the video—half Keith Richard, half Mick Jones, two guys who know axe-slinging and posturing... |

The B side of the 45 was the song Casa Dega, which was quite good too.

Tom Petty is a guilty pleasure for me. I like his music more as the years go by.

The definition of pop-rock. Not classic rock.
Great album...

lousiana rain, shadow of a doubt and century city are really good i think. and even if it is classic rock and overplayed, its still a great "album", and its not overplayed on RP. |

When this song came out, we used to do EXACTLY this:
"It was nearly summer
We sat on your roof.
We smoked cigarettes
and we stared at the moon.
I showed you stars
You never could see....
It couldn't of been that easy
To forget about me."
BEAUTIFUL!

One of his best. Maybe because back then his words
seemed to speak just to me. Well, it´s been a while
and thank god, yeah, I´ve been lucky.
Here´s to you, Tom
