As comfortable as an old woolen sweater on a chilly afternoon, and a simple — but strong — love song.

Thanks Tom, for years of excellence. Campbell also deserves kudos. You are a purest and a large part of the history of R&R.

Forbert's 1979 album was Jackrabbit Slim, but yeah. |

All right! I love playing this game. You can add: Elvis Costello - Armed Forces, Joe Jackson - Look Sharp AND I'm The Man, Dire Staits - Communique, The B52s - The B52s, Cheap Trick - At Budokan, Police - Regatta de Blanc, and all three acts of Zappa's Joe's Garage. |

I like Tom Petty...but...based on the amount of TP I hear on Radio Paradise, Tom must be a blood relation. Although the new album is very good.

I've seen TP & the HB's many times over the past 20+ years and they are always incredible. The last time was about 2 years ago with Pearl Jam as the opening act - dynomite!
The best I ever saw was in the mid-80's when they toured with Bob Dylan. The Hearbreakers were the opening act and played for about an hour and a half. Then they came back out as Bob Dylan's touring band and did over 2 hours with him. Unforgetable!
They took that tour up another notch by teaming up with the Grateful Dead for stadiums in the Summer of '86. Petty-> Petty/Dylan->The Dead->Dylan and the Dead. Fantastic. |

No, no you will get no argument from me, he has some good songs, but not in over 30 years! |
