Shut up and sing....
What? Tom petty a rocker? Seriously?
I’ve probably got some MTV clips from the 80’s with him and the flag. Is he going to apologize for his rotting teeth at the time as well? I’ve learned to take with a grain of salt what rockers say (except Ted Nugent naturally).........Yo!
I Won’t Back Down
Well, I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down
No, I’ll stand my ground, won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down
by Tom Petty
Tom Petty is from GAinseville, Fl. I’m from Jax. He made his living legend for 30 years with everyone out in the audience wrapping confederate flags around themselves and wearing confederate flag jackets etc and waving zippo lighters. I know because I was in the era. He’s really weaseling out on this one. I wonder what he will think when the stands are empty next concert.
I am beyond disappointed.
Tom, you don’t have to live like a refugee.
If I were Tom Petty’s parents, I’d apologize for Tom Petty.
How petty, Tom.
Expel him from Dixie and let him live like a refugee.
Petty jealousy. Neil Young, of the minor rock group that broke up in 1968, is getting all the press, what with the “Monsanto Years” LP, which could become totally irrelevant if Monsanto merges with Syngenta and changes name, and with the boycott of streaming services (good riddance to bad rubbish), because of the low quality of sound when streaming his albums consisting of amplifier feedback, so petty Petty wants to get in on the action and have a headline in Rolling Stone, or at least in Song Hits. We’ll see how it goes.
Not good enough; he should crawl on his belly across the floor, weep and tear his hair and lick dirt, while crying out, “Oh, woe is me, woe is me, I’m so naughty in the eyes of Liberals everywhere!”
