Tom Petty


I just watched about an hour of a Penny Marshall Tom Petty concert on tv. It's a weird show to watch; it's an endless series of "Hey, I know that song. That's a good song." But there's no GREAT songs, there's no "ohmygod" moments. I mean, at a Bruce show you know you can take a piss break during the 57-minute middle of Mary's Place, but there's no way in hell you're missing the breakdown on Badlands. At the Petty show, every minute could be a piss break or not a piss break, it never seems to matter.

he and campbell also change guitars after every friggin song, real annoying. If Pete Townshend can get through a show with one guitar so can they.
