    Love him. "The Waiting" is one of my favorite songs.

    But I HATE the Travelling Willburys. I like all of that group's members indivdually, but cant' stand them as a group. If I never hear their gawd-awful version of "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" again, I will be a happy camper. Done by the Headstones, it's my all time favorite song(barring Steve Earle songs of course). Done by the Willburys, it makes me want to puncture my eardrums!

    I love Tom! American Girl is my ringtone! I also love Woman in Love, Here Comes My Girl, and Listen To Her Heart. That was my favorite Petty era but I love his style and voice no matter what he does. Traveling Wilbury's weren't my favorite either but I love Tom. He puts on a really great show as well. Several years ago he did a weeks worth of shows at the Fillmore in SF rather than do one huge stadium show. It was fantastic seeing him in such a great venue! Hope he comes around again soon.

    Amen to that!


    I have been a Tom Petty fan since I was in middle school. Interestingly, my seventeen year old son also loves him.

    Tom Petty fan here too! I always crank up the radio when I hear one of his songs on. Oddly enough I got into listening to him when I was younger and my parents didn't lol. Dad is a country/blues/jazz fan and mom likes new age and 80s new wave lol.

    My music taste is a wierd amalgamation of all the stuff I grew up with. I guess thats why I like just about everything now lol

    Chris, isn't that funny... here we are getting "old", and we still like rock'n roll. John was lucky, he went with Alvin Lee to a Whitesnake concert in London - backstage of course (Hammersmith 1980 I think it was), and came back with a great tape! I still have it.
