      No not really brilliant this song is about going to Hollywood and selling ur soul.

Along with Petty's Alice in Wonderland and the Cradle of Love are some of the memorable videos from my youth. Tom died here in LA not that long ago and wish I would have seen him live but one of his last concerts in LA he only performed something like 30-40 minutes and fans were disappointed. I don't know why I didn't see him considering the thousands of shows I've attended. What a loss.

    The day Tom passed, I felt like I just lost my favorite cousin. I still do.

    One of the greatest music videos ever. Amazing how they could tell a whole story and have clips of the band
