Nikki’s proud of you Tom. You’re her kind of man.
But no longer ours.
Petty’s a liberal faggot.
Oh no!!
I’ll never listen to born a rebel the same
No I’ll never listen to it again
Great rocker and one of the few good things to come out of Gainesville. Sorry to hear that he’s turned into a wuss in his old age.
There Now I can sleep at night.
This dope had a couple good songs 30 years ago. I own tons of music and he’s not on the shelf, didn’t make the cut.
Again, people just need to think about how it looks to a black person. It's just awful. It's like how a swastika looks to a Jewish person. It just shouldn't be on flagpoles.
Tom should have taken the time to think whoever it was that talked him out of his planned "Swastika Flag Tour" back in '83.
Apology for a 1985 incident of flag waving?
Seriously???
Petty is a wuss or needs some attention.
Hey Tom, I won’t back down.
Has Skynnard apologized yet?
Am I being PETTY if I call him a fool? Time to get into his Dr. Who telephone time-travelling machine and take down that Confederate flag from his 1985 show.
And this is from the singer of the song “I WON’T BACK DOWN”!
PC BS!!
Who cares
Always a Gainesville libtard
He and Phil Anselmo can BJ each other
Though Tom might choke from the rumour Ya hear
I detest these cowards
We got yankees defending us and a Florida boy and a New Orleans lad got no spine at all
In the zeitgeist of today, forget the flag, the song itself is offensive to the politically correct. According to what I could gather from youtube, he was still performing it two years ago. As someone stated, he is what Bruce Jenner wants.
Honey don’t walk out I’m too drunk to follow
You know you won’t feel this way tomorrow
Well, maybe I’m a little rough around the edges
Inside a little hollow
I get faced with some things sometimes
That are so hard to swallow
Hey hey hey!
I was born a rebel
Down in Dixie on a Sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel
Well she picked me up in the morning
And she paid all my tickets
Yeah she screamed in the car
And threw me out in the thicket
Well I never would’ve dreamed
That her heart was so wicked
Oh but I keep coming back
Cause it’s so hard to kick it
I was born a rebel
Down in Dixie on a Sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And on e foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel
Even before my father’s fathers
They called us all rebels
Burned our cornfields
And left our cities leveled
I can still see the eyes
Of those blue bellied devils
When I’m walking round tonight
Through the concrete and metal
I was born a rebel
Down in Dixie on a Sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel
Tom Petty should apologize for being just another POS!
He backed down.
Disappointing.... but not surprising.
How petty of him.
Did he ever apologize for trying to ride the “New Wave”?
We forgive you, Tom, despite all of the mayhem and carnage that resulted from flying the Confederate flag on your tour.
