Tell me Tom Petty isn't a freeper
because I just love him. I'm listening to his Greatest Hits now. My favorite is...

It's a long day living in Reseda (I live in Reseda)
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard

and

All the vampires walking through the Valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard

He ain't kidding!

2. I don't think so - I remember during the grunge era,
he was very supportive of those artists, who were very left wing.

5. I don't think he is
I'm not a fan, so I don't know a lot about him, but I seem to recall that he worked for the Dems this last election cycle.

I think he's a gifted song-writer. Something about his voice annoys me, though.
And I'm a big fan of the Cure! Go figure.

6. Something about his voice? It's because he can't sing.
But that's what makes him sooo good!

8. Didn't he tell Bush not to use one of his songs for campaigning?
I think he did. "I Won't Back Down" or something....
