but, i had a sort of muted respective for him, lameness and all. this is different than, say, a neil young, who i think released a couple of really good records, or paul mccartney, who i think was a genius for roughly five years in the late 60s. i don't actually like much of anything tom petty did, but i've nonetheless frequently enjoyed it.
and, he was very, very popular on late 80s radio.
so, we're plugging tom petty in this week. and, unlike the prince and love & rockets, there will be a review for this record dated to early 1990.
