1. Great singer/song writer....
...not the best of all time, but great nonetheless.

For whatever reason, I've found he makes good songs for roadtrips.

4. +10000 on the "makes good songs for roadtrips"
I have one of his latest CDs in my car and it's excellent for cruising on the highway.

3. has he stopped using "babe" as a puctuation mark in his songs?
I've seen TP & The Heartbreakers over the years since they first got out of Florida and really like their shows.

5. I served his ass once...
When he stayed at our hotel I brought him breakfast. He was laying naked in the bed with his ass sticking out. It was kinda funny.

11. When someone says there was nothing good about "The Postman"...
...you can always note that Tom Petty was in it, and, well, that was kind of cool.

16. I've seen him 10 times and have a tattoo based on an image from one of his albums.
So... yeah, I am a fan.

18. good but not great
Doesn't mean I don't like him; far from it, just not "great". ( and has written some great songs here and there)

20. made me wish I still smoked dope
haven't smoked since college, and went to a Tom Petty concert a few years back, really, really wishing I still got high. I was bored out of my mind, which was the usual impetus for getting high (especially in high school).

Although I do love "Don't Back Down".

à chacun son goût, I guess.
