Tom Petty was an American original. I know – we say that
about a lot of well-known figures, and obviously, that's what it takes to make
someone worthy of such acclaim. Some people are famous for all the wrong
reasons.
Petty was famous for all the right ones. We know him because he wrote
and sang some of the greatest songs of our time. His style was unmistakable,
with a twang in his voice, and powerful, guitar-driven songs that you want to
listen to over and over.
