Yes, to all you said. I don’t know if Tom ever knew that Earl was proud of him, but he was, at least in his later years. I hope Tom and his dad ended up in a “good enough” place in their relationship before his dad passed.

TP and the HB’s songs are so special to me. I feel fortunate that I can still hear his voice on XM 31, listening to him talk on his “Buried Treasure” show. Almost seems like he’s still still with us.

You can imagine I grew up drinking Gatorade. It probably put GVL on the map in a way. They added a Cade Museum to GVL near where I grew up. That area by Depot Ave has changed dramatically since I was there. Dramatically.

I met Cade once and, my first year in law school, on bright sunny days, I used to go to a small park near my apartment and sit at a bench and table and read my law texts. Per my brother, a staunch Tom Petty fan and listener to “Buried Treasures,” it is the same park favored by Tom Petty and is now named for him. Supposedly, the differences between Tom and his father are exaggerated and they got along better as the years went by.
