Why did my dad have around 11 of these posters? I just found them all in a poster tube in my crawl space.

What’s the back story on it?

Which album sounds most like Mary Jane's Last Dance?

Been watching this clip all day. I know it was recorded during the Wildflowers sessions but it doesn't really sound like that record maybe outside of Honey Bee.

Which album should this have been on if it wasn't a one off single for the greatest hits?

This is maybe a weird question but why does full moon fever sound so crystal clear

I don’t really know how to explain it but every single song on this album just sounds perfectly clear like you’re in the studio. I don’t know if it’s just because there’s not a lot of filler, or the way they produced it, or what?

Would you swap anything out from Tom's Live Aid 4 song slot? If so, what would you replace it with?

Born today, little Thomas. Named after my favorite songwriter 😊

Not sure if this is allowed here but I wanted to share. We always knew if we had a boy he’d be named after TP.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind comments!

What happens when you watch the credits to Lethal Weapon 2

By chance I heard this great sounding George Harrison song at the end of Lethal Weapon 2 the other night.

Turns out it was co-written with Tom and produced by Jeff Lynne in 1989. That's Lynne on the backing vocals.

So 'cheer down' all you Heartbreakers fans out there. We have another secret Tom Petty song to add to tonight's playlist...

Reminder that “She’s The One” is now streaming on Netflix, original songs and score by Tom Petty. 🤠

“Walls” is goated, but as someone who came of age in 80’s/90’s NYC, this follow-up to Ed Burns “Brothers McMullen” is a very solid nostalgia piece.

Tattoo Help

Hi guys, I’ve had my Tom Petty portrait tattoo for a few years now, and I think I’m ready to add some flowers to it.

The portrait itself is black with no color. Would it be weird to add flowers with color?

Which flowers would you add? I have 1-2 flowers I know I want, but should I just do a random mix, or just do the same few?
