  • @djdoc06

    This is an incredible song. Always loved it. I wonder if it was inspired by Bowie’s Young Americans. The whole spirit and energy of the song, the storytelling, is so similar, but sped up.

    • @djdoc06
      @djdoc06 Год назад

      Yep. That’s exactly what I thought too. There is a nobility to her simple American dreams in both songs. Similar style of storytelling. Also, Young Americans is almost all about the American girl, not the couple as the title would suggest.
      One time One night is a another storytelling song about America I really love, too.

    They fucking crushed it. That crowd is lame as hell. To me Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are THE quintessential American rock and roll band. Better than Elvis, the Eagles, The Beach Boys, The Doors, Steely Dan, Grateful Dead, no disrespect to any of them, but Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are better. Simply Timeless. Important and vital then and now, writing hits and all original songs over 4 decades that young people still love in 2024. Everybody loves Tom Petty. Left or right, Republican or Democrat, every race and religion even if mostly a country/hip hop/metal/blues/ fan, every American likes at least one Tom Petty song. Their music is deceptively simply in its structure, but incredibly deep and lasting in its execution.
    There will never be another Tom Petty and Mike Campbell
