Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Rock
built 227 days ago
In 1985, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers participated in the world-spanning charity rock concert Live Aid. They ... played at the 2001 America: A Tribute to Heroes benefit concert to where he played the song "I Won't Back Down" as a fitting tribute to the current post 9-11 climate.

Through he'd never immediately be compared to the archetypal rock 'n' roll chameleon David Bowie, Tom Petty has had his share of incarnations. He's been the scrappy gutter punk snarling "Refugee," the Heartland roots-rocker wailing about "The Waiting" and the telegenic MTV philosopher king of "Don't Come Around Here No More."

TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS were inducted in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 18, 2002, their first year of eligibility. They have been the recipients of countless awards and recognition but most importantly they have continued to impress, entertain, and inspire their millions of fans for over 25 years.

Almost everyone, it seems, loves 55-year-old Tom Petty these days, especially on a cool, end-of-summer night like this. Thirty years on, Petty's uber-cool stature is a reward for following his own path in rock, somewhere between the singer/songwriters of the '70s and the British-invasion inspired new-wave acts, with only minor adjustments for prevailing trends.

Comments: Tom Petty was all about “honest rock’n’roll”. I’m not sure what this cover has to do with heartbreakers but it may have something to do with hormones and an “American Girl”.
