Tom Petty Halftime Show

Looking forward to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers halftime show.
He'll probably break out all the lame hits (Freefallin, I Won't Back Down) but the Heartbreakers are still a great band, especially guitarist Mike Campbell and former Stooge Scott Thurston. If you don't have their 1999 album Echo go buy it now


post Superbowl update:
Tom Brady didn't play as well as Tom Petty
but he went down Swingin' (1999)


Tom "playing bass" with Dwight Twilley (1977)

Wow, you are right about Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers still being a fantastic band, but your "lame hits (Free Fallin, I Won't Back Down)" comment almost envelopes the coolness of the aforementioned one and leaves you with the stale scent of ignorance and saturated stupidity. Those are classic songs from a master song-smith.

Envelopes are for letters.
Just because I like Tom Petty doesn't mean I have to worship everything he does.
Free Fallin, in my opinion, is not the finest work of a master song- smith.
A comment like "the stale scent of ignorance and saturated stupidity" is worse.
And I won't back down .
