Lyrics wake up time tom petty tv#
If memory serves me this was on the TV Guide scrolling channel, yes stuff like that actually happened in the early 21st century kids. I remember watching a brief promo spot with Tom Petty on his upcoming new album at the time, The Last DJ. I had no real reason to skip classes other than maybe to recharge the batteries from one of hundreds of run-of-the-mill house parties I’d attend during those years with my usual suspects from the night before. I was still living at home and going to a community college at the time. It began on a day where I was skipping my college classes as a Freshman in the Fall of 2002.
I came to be a die-hard Tom Petty fan in probably one of the more unexpected ways with the most unexpected album. But little did I know that was just the tip of the iceberg. I must confess I had his hits scattered across burnt CD’s and I thought that was probably good enough for me. It started in high school when I was still just a casual fan of his. I’d like to share my experiences with Tom Petty and what he means to me personally. Almost anyone anywhere has heard a Tom Petty song or has a Tom Petty story that means something deeply to them. He was an American institution that galvanized our collective conscience. I feel even to call him a legend is a bit of a disservice.

He could write timeless classic anthems (American Girl, I Need To Know, Listen To Her Heart, Refugee, Even The Losers, Here Comes My Girl, Don’t Do me Like That, The Waiting, Don’t Come Around Here No More, Free Fallin’, I Won’t Back Down, Runnin’ Down A Dream, Yer So Bad, Learning To Fly, Into The Great Wide Open, Mary Jane’s Last Dance, Crawling Back To You, Walls (Circus), Room At The Top, Swingin’, The Last DJ, Have Love Will Travel), pile-driving rockers (Anything That’s Rock ‘N’ Roll, Century City, What Are You Doin’ In My Life?, You Wreck Me, Honey Bee, Sweet William, Saving Grace, I Should’ve Known It, American Dream Plan B), and lilting numbers so delicate it feels like they could disintegrate or shatter at any moment (Insider, Southern Accents, Alright For Now, Wildflowers, Wake Up Time, Lonesome Sundown, Echo, Blue Sunday, Square One, Something Good Coming). A chiming Americana with a cinematic and cerebral essence laced with razor sharp wit. He took those influences and distilled them into an art form and medium distinctly his own. Tom Petty was a true pioneer and an American original who loved Elvis, The Beatles, The Byrds, and Bob Dylan among many others. The Chicago Cubs are playing deep into the postseason for the third straight year and I also became a father (More on that for another post) but I would be remiss if I did not share my thoughts on the passing of the one and only Tom Petty.
I was hoping there wouldn’t be such a delay in this post but it’s been a bit of a hectic October for me thus far (Again).
