pfife Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I actually can't even watch that whole video without someone cutting onions in my house. I saw that on College Gameday last year and coincidentally someone was cutting onions then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this is a tradition there. Is it because he's local? Fun fact I learned from Don Felder's book.... Duane Allman taught Don how to play slide. Don taught Petty how to play. What was in the water in Gainesville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfife Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Gameday did talk about a big part of it being that Petty is from G'Ville. He's very beloved there. Probably b/c it's a place and everywhere loves Petty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Brian_K Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I really enjoy Tom Pettys music...I know I am not a unicorn with that, dude has a ton of fans. I will never forget seeing the video for Dont Come Around Here No More...I was 8 when that song came out...I thought the song was strange...hard to explain, but then the video with Alice as a cake...man that really messed me up. I have a much better appreciation for his music now, but even back then there was something about his music that caught me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It wasn't until very recently that I learned that Mike Campbell, from the Heartbreakers, is a talented songwriter. He wrote The End of the Innocence for Bruce Hornsby who wasn't that keen on it but let Henley have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Brian_K Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The whole writer and who actually made the song is a really cool thing to look into. Again I know this is not new, but it is cool to see who wrote the song and who ended up making it and who turned it down etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 correction. I got my story mixed up. Campbell wrote The Boys of Summer that Henley made famous after Petty turned it down. The article I got it from was about The End of the Innocence and they shared that anecdote at the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 To all you Tom Petty fans... I'm a bit old school about him... I hope you've listened to his album "You're Going to Get It". It sounds like Damn The Torpedoes before DTT sounds like DTT (which would be obvious since it was the album that came out just prior to DTT). Great album!!! Sounds just as damn good as Damn the Torpedoes, only just a tad more raw. Old school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) 25th anniversary of the release of this song. I don't care what anyone says, I always though it was a great pop song. Insightful lyrics too considering that they were ages 11-16 at the time. You have so many relationships in this life Only one or two will last You're going through all the pain and strife Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast Oh yeah And they're gone so fast, yeah, yeah, oh So hold on the ones who really care In the end they'll be the only ones there And when you get old and start losing your hair Can you tell me who will still care? Can you tell me who will still care? oh oh Okay, yeah [Chorus] Mmm bop, ba duba dop Ba du bop, ba duba dop Edited July 30, 2022 by lordstanley 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Was outside digging weeds out of the sidewalk and brick cracks and thinking "It's so hot............" and then this song got stuck in my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Tonight's Under The Radar Radio will lean in a 60's influenced psychedelic Brit Pop direction as our Pick Of The Week is Kula Shaker's surprisingly good new album "First Congregational Church of Eternal Love And Free Hugs". We'll play 4 from the album along with new music from Editors, Built To Spill, Dry Cleaning, Tchotchke, Drugdealer and the wonderful pairing of Suggs & Paull Weller - and older favorites from Temples, Spiritualized, Echo & The Bunnymen, Velvet Starlings and many more. 7pm on annarbors107one.com (107.1 FM) or thisisqmusic.com (94.5 FM in Grand Rapids and Western Michigan I don't know, think these guys listened to Pink Floyd ever?

Biff Mayhem Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Yesterday a Talking Heads song came on the radio and my mind flashed back to that time in Government Class in high school when a guy started singing the chorus. All these years later it still makes me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) It was touch and go whether there was going to be a show at Pine Knob last night but it turned into one long insane set for 2 and a half hours. Absolutely Bubbleheaded! Edited August 4, 2022 by Hongbit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yeah for sure! I rode up with a friend and his brother and sister in law were already out there. They told us they weren't letting anybody in, this was around 5 so they went to the Union bar and were able to get a table. We finally got there and hung out and decided to go to Pine Knob and at least drink some beers if that's all it was going to be. We got in before the show started, there's a club entrance to the far left that had no line, thanks to the worker who pointed that out. In fact they never even scanned a ticket. We had lawn seats but instead of standing on a sloping wet hill in the rain we parked in front of the railings at the bottom of the hill. Couldn't really see much but we had video boards in front of us so it was cool. It was my first phish show and it exceeded my expectations. Didn't get home until 1:45. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
