Here Comes Tom Petty And That Video That Gave My Sister The Middle Of The Night Screaming Heebie Jeebies Back In The Eighties.

Webster defines music as...

Hold up.

We all remember when Descartes said famously-

-Man, these things are hard to start.

I didn't really appreciate Tom Petty in my formative music years. he was that nasally guy who pronounced words weirdly. The tunes were nice but who was that guy singing? Later years, however, have taught me to appreciate the sheer staying power of The Petty. he still fills stadiums AND play new music that people don't automatically use as an excuse to head to the bar or toilet. Perhaps it's solid influences, from Dylan to the Byrds. Perhaps it's his orneriness, his instance on adherence to rock solid and relevant songwriting.

It all boils down to: Tom Petty is cool. Just like this video. For a song co-written with Dave Stewart from The Eurythmics, According to it's Wiki entry: The original inspiration was a romantic encounter that Stewart had with Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac.[1] On The Howard Stern Show, Dave Stewart explained that the title's phrase was actually uttered by Nicks. She had broken up with Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh the night before,[2] and invited Stewart to her place for a party after an early Eurythmics show in Los Angeles. Stewart did not know who she was at the time, but went anyway. When the partygoers all disappeared to a bathroom for a couple of hours to snort cocaine, he decided to go upstairs to bed. He woke up at 5am to find Nicks in his room trying on Victorian clothing and described the entire scenario as very much reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. Later that morning, she told Walsh, "Don't come around here no more."  All of which is to say this is today's:
