      I would absolutely love it if we would continue advocating for Peace. So many folks still sadly fear it might lead towards the reign of an antichrist. But we're getting to the point where we can't just allow corruption to win. We must side with something. I'm at Peace with myself but that's not going to happen with some others sadly.

Tom asked him to call this person and 30 minutes later Ringo walks in. Everyone said "Oh yeah, George Harrison knows a drummer!!" 🙂

      Thank you for liking Tom Petty's music video, "I Won't Back Down".

      J.D. Estrada- yes indeed. It is one of his best. Another I really like is "Free Falling". That is the first time I had seen a woman performing on a skate board and she was good at it.

      I wish I had a legitimate team to help keep me up. But they all ran off. 100% of 'em. It's been disconcerting and sorrowful, but at least I know what it means to suffer and endure in silence and solitude.

    Timeless and epic song, this speaks volumes to everyone who never gave up, always fight and won't quit when times get tough!!! This should be our national anthem because we fight and won't back down!!💪🔥❤ February 2022 and this song sounds better with each passing day, month, and year!!! I was fortunate enough to see Tom shortly before he passed away and that concert can be summed up in one word.....magical just like his music is, was and will forever be!!!
