DESCRIPTION:
DukesFan01 said Insightful and informing look at Petty and The Heartbreakers. I have been a fan of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers since I first saw their video for "You Got Lucky" on MTV way back in the early '80s. I feel as if I grew up with the band, and it's great to find them today still going strong. This book merely reinforced my opinion of the Heartbreakers and its music, and more importantly, in the way they have conducted themselves over their long career.What I enjoyed most about this book is that I was able to learn two different things: more about Petty personally,. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. Very informative and insightful.. a tp fan's must have love to read; love petty This book is for anyone who has ever listened to the music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. This book is written in a Q & A format, and you get a close up look behind what was going through Tom's head when he wrote/recorded any one of your favorite songs. Mr. Petty is probably one of the most under-rated and overlooked musical geniuses of our time. He is solid and has been for nearly 30 years. This is a great gift for any rock and roll music lover.

From Publishers Weekly This lengthy but highly readable compilation of interviews with rock star Petty covers every aspect of his four-decades-long career, from his first success in the 1970s blending the sound of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Byrds ("I think we kind of invented the New Wave"), to his controversial stance on 2002's The Last DJ as a critic of the greed and homogeneity in the current rock establishment ("I wanted to write an album about what everybody thought but wouldn't say").
