Some really irritating voices coming through the headphones this AM, though, none more irritating than Tom Petty's.

Touche'! But, like the song says, Southern men tell better jokes. And in Bush's case, are bigger jokes!  |

There is no better driving song.  |

Same here. I enjoy this album far more now than I did in '89. I guess it's kinda like that M. Twain quote, something to the effect of how it was amazing how much smarter and wiser his father was when Twain was 23 compared to when he was 18.
Wildflowers is still Petty's best, though (IMO). |
