    Tom Petty had such a great sense of humor. It was 1984, my boyfriend (who later became my husband)and I went to the Palomino Club in the San Fernando Valley to see Neil Young. We were in the front at a large long table. Who comes in and sits across from us? Tom Petty. My boyfriend says to him " Oh wow! I never expected to see you here". To which Tom Petty replied, " I never expected to see you here either!" I love this memory so much, as both Tom Petty and my husband are gone now.

    No fancy outfits, no barely dressed female dancers parading on stage, no choreographed dance moves, no smoke and mirrors, no autotune, just a man with his guitar, singing his songs that told a story that everyone could relate to, backed by the Heartbreakers. Tom didnt need anything flashy. He was a whole vibe within himself. And his career spanded for 40+ years. He was still selling out arenas. Didn't even have to succumb to playing night clubs. He embraced what true rock n roll was. And his fans were loyal to the end. God i miss this man. 😢

      Yeah, I think he really planted the flag when he sang that line and it is the aptest expression of rock and roll, in general--and just the way he sings it!... But, the most sententious lyric of the song comes later, in referrence to expriencing unrequited love: "Right now this seems real to you but it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true." The insight surprised me when I first saw it in the lyrics--having not heard it clearly through the songs recording--and told me something of his philosophical nature... You see!! You DON'T have to live like a refugee!

      I do vinyl ... which means I've kept everything, accident of fate. I know the recording history all that; my personal view is that every single one of his producers either worked him to death or ripped him off and he just learned ... how to produce music. That kind of intense commitment to one's project/art is incredible.

    We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it
    Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it
    Listen, it don't really matter to me baby
    You believe what you want to believe, you see
    You don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
    Tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon
    Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
    Everybody's had to fight to be free, you see
    You don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    No baby you don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    Baby we ain't the first
    I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
    Right now this seems real to you, but it's
    One of those things you gotta feel to be true
    Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
    Who knows maybe you were kidnapped, tied up
    Taken away and held for ransom
    Honey, it don't really matter to me, baby
    Everybody's had to fight to be free, you see
    Don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    No you don't have to live like a refugee
