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“.

Trey, I know that you like it very poppy.
Happy May Day.

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.

Note, I remember hearing the above song so many times on the radio in the early 80's that it didn't seem like it was released 1976.
@Bix Yes, after they really broke, it really made me sad when he died, not that I was such a huge fan, just that he seemed like such a nice guy. I still listen to his old shows on SiriusXM, he was born to be a DJ.
@Charles_Hawtrey
CH, I love The Byrds & I'm a fan of TP / Mike Campbell.

@Bix Oh yeah, I didn't mean that I wasn't a fan, also love the Byrds. Right now I'm listening to a cassette of the Vanilla Fudge. Love Bogert and Appice together, monster rhythm section.
@Charles_Hawtrey Also, I like Bogert's voice, he has a nice sounded tenor.
@Bix Yes and he was a MONSTER bass player, one of my heroes.
@Bix @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE
Speaking of Tom Petty... I know I posted this video not too long ago, but it's too beautiful not to post again. I admit, it brought tears to my eyes. I love how Dolly honors his memory by touching the items he wore.
Southern Accents, written by Tom Petty, sung by Dolly Parton.
@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE
Thanks, I love that one - & like most people, Dolly, too

As someone from 80 miles south of where Petty grew up and who -- as a bratty child -- purposefully watched PBS documentaries/BBC crossovers to rid myself of any remnant of said twang...I resemble this remark. 😆
YES it's a pretty melody. 🤓
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE
Trey loves when Petty sang about being a child in Gainesville.

Don't believe the "UF student jumping from Beatty Towers" bullshit -- Floridians love to whisper this bunk to each other in cow pastures and behind 7-11s. I should know...I did. 😜

Heh, I wish. I stopped listening to my fellow Flurduh man AFTER the "Let Me Up" album, circa '87.
It is my distasteful opinion that EVERYTHING he did after that was lame. Except for that one tune, "Should've know better"?
😮 🤷♂️ 🤓
There was some stuff in the mid/late 80s I don't like but I thought he came back pretty strong in Hypnotic Eye and Mojo.
my 2¢
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @tgraph52 @Charles_Hawtrey
You are wrong.
I love this 1996 soundtrack that they made with Rick Rubin.

and it was Rick Rubin that did that very nice set of 5 LPs with Johnny Cash, the 2nd featuring most of the Heartbreakers as the backing band
@tgraph52 @InUnfunky
All great discs,
I look for discs that Rubin produces - even bands that he singed like this one:

When I lived there I fought hard to keep my Boston accent. I got teased sometimes but didn't care. I was wicked proud of where I came from.
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37
One of Tom letting us all know that we dont know how it feels to be him. So let's get to the point . . . 💙

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. 😱😏🤷🏻♂️
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]
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.
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.
@InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @Bobk37
I guess the question is; are you sorry?
I see why though.
@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? 🤷🏻♂️🤓)
