What a cool band. They needed to move from London to Los Angeles because they sound like they were from the scene that included The Dream Syndicate.

Danke für deine Fürsorge, meine liebe Bixie. Wir werden uns bald vereinen, um gegen die faschistischen Oberherren zu kämpfen, ein wirklich glorreicher Tag. Bitte lesen Sie in der Zwischenzeit meinen „Achtzehnten Brumaire“.

Good morning. ☕️

Wow, this one brought me back. Another great one I grew up on, thanks to my father.

My dad could've given me toys every day of the week, but nothing would have compared to giving me the gift of loving and appreciating music (and books).

Trey retweeted a Tom Petty song, which brings me to a story about winning the rock n roll lottery

The Heartbreakers' 1st album was a flop. But, it so good that 2 years after its release it made Gold status.

All you TPHB megafans are gonna unfollow me when I tell you that I had tix to see them (with Joe Walsh, even!) in Hartford (7/14/17) but didn’t (sold the tix) cuz I checked out earlier setlists. 😱😏🤷🏻‍♂️

@InUnfunky

They got mary jane and free fallin out of the way at least

🎶 😎 🎶

We saw them in 1979 and it was a really good show in a really good theater

[Fabulous Poodles opened]

@tgraph52

In the ‘80s I had few chances to see them — between Gainesville, Tampa, the infamous show with the Replacements opening in Orlando — probably with a setlist more to my snooty liking. Oh well, add it to my “missed” list.

@InUnfunky

What I always liked about TP & the Heartbreakers was that no matter the level of fame and all that they achieved, they always felt like just a band playing music cuz it's so damn fun.

Plus Petty is a helliva song writer.

@CinnamonGirlE @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37

Lol, no!

You see that setlist? 😱🤣

But still…shoulda seen him in FL in the ‘80s when I had the chance.

Bixie’s pleased this older tune is from “The Last DJ.” 😎

@CinnamonGirlE @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37

See, the reason that I didn’t go see Petty in the ‘90s (and thereafter) was that I was blowing all my tix $ on “alternative music.” 🤣

And prog. For example, this too on-the-nose joke about “dinosaurs.” (Bruford releases pro-shot video now? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤓)

This achieves peak Bixtasm levels of accuracy and humor.

I was, like, SOOO EXCITED the night before this cd (4/23/91) came out I could not sleep and was waiting at the record store when the doors opened.

True story. 🤓

Hey Bixie —

Why does Gordon want me to go see his tantric ass with the FL Orchestra (at Mahaffey, where I saw Crim)? Haven’t I already given him enough? Do you think he’ll do “Still My Beating Heart” or the Gil Evans version of “Little Wing”? Maybe Frank’s “Idiot Bastard Son”?

Second show added! 😱😏

@Bix @InUnfunky @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @tgraph52

Keep in mind Sting is a tantric performer so it takes forever to get to the climax of the show.

@InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37
Sorry Trey; TP>KC
But variety is what makes the world go round.
To each their very own. 😉
