Don't care. I fell for him when he did Dylan way better'n Dylan. Been looking all day for video of him doing it at this same 30th anniversary party only with George Harrison on guitar and Tom in a t-shirt and bright red Chuck's, bouncing all over the stage and whipping the crowd into a frenzy. Somebody found it for me, say, 15 years ago, but now I can't find it again. Anyway, that was the moment Tom Petty went from just being okay by me to being loved by me. 1992 from the tv room at a Zen monastery.

And I've made a decision, too. I'm takin' half a chill pill to attempt knocking myself off this backasswards biorhythm. Maybe good, maybe futile, but... I'm goin' in.


pipe up any time....
