Appreciate the review and link. There's a short documentary The True History Of The Traveling Wilburys as well as a podcast titled Traveling Wilburys: A Little Help From Bob's Friends that are worth checking out for more on them As far as Petty's drug use goes, it's my understanding is that period of his life was a relatively brief (maybe a couple of years) after his divorce when he moved into that log cabin thing in Malibu. Overall, for the majority of his career, it ws not an issue. Am in full agreement that his/their music has so much staying power and will be around in 100+ yrs. Something I find unique is how Petty and his bandmates were continually working to improve. The consistent high level of quality of record after record of theirs was amazing and reflects their work ethic. I can't think of another artist who could be counted on to give their listeners such high quality records for so long.
I am going to check out that podcast and documentary! I think I heard Rick Rubin say that Tom Petty was very introverted and pretty much kept to himself and just wrote music. It is incredible that he delivered great music for multiple decades. Only a handful of other musicians who have done that. I am kicking myself that I never saw Petty live.
I have read this and really enjoyed it. His ex wife has written a book about her life with Tom. Watch for it this December. I love Tom Petty. I’m not to into his music from the album Southern Accents on up until present but.. I love everything before that point. Especially when he was with Mudcrutch. You have a cool channel here. I’ve subbed.
I hadn't heard of his ex wife's book coming out. Looks interesting! I wasn't into his music either... just heard whatever my parents played. But I loved listening to his albums while reading. Thanks for the sub and comment!
I have not. But I really want to! I'll read it this year I think. I listened to a few podcasts when he released the book and it sounds interesting. After I finished Petty I also started re-watching the documentary The Defiant Ones about Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre. So good.

Speaking of Rick Rubin, have you read his new book? Are you going to!? It’s definitely on my to read books. 🥰👍
Fun review, thanks.
