Here’s what I’ve been listening to during writing.
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: “Damn The Torpedoes”; “Full Moon Fever”; “Wildflowers”; “Into The Great Wide Open”; “Echo”; “The Best of Everything” (2 disks); “Angel Dream”; “‘Wildflowers’ And All The Rest” (4 disks).
This one is in my last CD binder with collections that include soundtracks. I didn’t pull it out to play because it’s the same as “Angel Dream (Songs and Music from the Motion Picture She’s the One).”
I’m missing a couple taken by the Harvey flood on LP. They’ll find a way back eventually.
There’s a musician on Instagram who I first bonded with over a shared love of Tom Petty. He was embarking on his real-life love story about the same time I was writing the beginning of my musician’s love story in the Neverending Saga, so I feel great affection for his beautiful family as it grows.
And then she looks me in the eye and says
“We’re gonna last forever and ever”
And you know I can’t begin to doubt it
Man, I miss Tom Petty.
ETA: The day after I posted this, with the line above being the last thing I wrote, the below ad for a coffee cup showed up on my Instagram feed. My phone and my computer are constantly spying on each other via my social media and blog accounts. I already knew this, because any product I search on Google will show up in ads on Instagram. It’s a Big Brother World.
He wrote wildflowers just for me… but you already know that.
