Who here hasn't heard of Tom Petty?

So, there are few people I've met who don't know who he was. I am a little stunned when they say they don't know who he is, but I have to remind myself that the new generations are used to the new age music...though it doesn't feel that long ago that Tom Petty was on the top of the charts. He was my favorite rock star, and known for writing some of the greatest lyrics/first lines of all time. It's hard not to know who he is, unless you live under a rock, or just like a certain genre. If you are someone who likes music, I recommend being open to the older genres/bands/stations that got your popular generations of today started. You'd also be surprised who their idles and inspirations are. They all have them.
