    I met Tom Petty when I was a kid. My dad told me to go say hi to him when he recognized him at a gas station, and that he was the guy who sung this song. I told him I liked his singing. I still remember how big his smile was. I couldn't have been more than 7. Man just seemed like a normal, chill, good guy. RIP Tom.

      I've met a few actors back in the 1970s mostly and one thing they like most is when you tell them how much you like their work. Tom's reaction to your son was quite normal. Tom knew that his fans were the reason why he made it big and likely never forgot that.

    Ah, the days of playing GTA San Andreas, flying in a Hydra or a Rustler, over the desert skies of Las Venturas with a 6 star wanted level, dog fighting with the military trying to blow you out of the sky with this song playing on K-DST in the background…. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Tom Petty and Rockstar have created some wonderful memories for us.

      Weird. Why does anybody make comments like this? It used to be a thing to say, but honestly, although I am a "young" (lol) 36 years old, I have found that a ton of the folks my age and younger are down with more classic tunes than maybe any generation before them, and by them I refer to younger Millennials and Gen Z. Remember, my elder chum, there were probably old timers who asked why you were listening to the Beatles instead of listening to Benny Goodman or Scott Joplin. Btw, Joplin rules.

      Winsor McCay was such an insane early animation figure. He a newspaper cartoonist who's raw talent made him such a solid animator. It's actually crazy how unparalleled his skills were right at the infancy of animated film, he was already decades ahead of Disney.

    Essa música me traz uma sensação diferente. Não só a nostalgia do GTA San Andreas, mas ela tbm fez parte da trilha sonora de um momento estranho da minha vida. Vai ficar marcada pra sempre
