I owned a black 86 CRX Si, best car ever and my cassette deck played songs even Bill doesn't have. Didn't really appreciate Tom Petty then, like him now more, however. Never played any of the Camaro or Firebird songs!  |

Not the most challenging and creative song from Petty and the Heartbreakers, but still has an anthem appeal. Always looking for more new music from Petty, don't want it to end. Was a heartbreaker for me when Garcia went and brought that wonderment to a peremptory end.

The older I get the more I appreciate Tom Petty. But this song is definitely in the short list of the most overplayed songs of all time, and I would much rather hear something more obscure by him.

Ahhhhh—It's all clear now. This is why I was confused when I liked Mudcrutch, but thought I didn't like Tom Petty.

I'm instantly transported to Sunnyvale California, listening to KOME, 8 years old, playing with Star Wars figures, smashing REC-PLAY on my Realistic brand tape deck as this starts to add this tune to my first-ever mixtape. It's impossible for me to be objective with this tune. It just rocks and brings the warm nostalgia all at once.

Saw them live in 1979-1980 at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda Victoria, it was a great show. I was trying to impress my mates older sister, I think she was way out of my league. The show was great anyway.
