Same here, Diane. Wildflowers became a favorite after a significant loss. Beautiful piece, Charlotte. Crazy how they can sometimes flow out of us as if by an unseen force.
Great great song. I don't like the live version where he tears his hair. I just love the straight song. Brings back a memory that started me writing , finally at foty-eight.
Great story, Charlotte! So glad you linked so I could read it — I’m so behind in my reading. I, too, love Tom Petty, and my big regret is that I never saw him perform in person. Your story inspires me to write about an Aimee Mann song I love … now, if I could only find the time.
Ah Charlotte! The Running Down a Dream live version gets me every single time - Mike Campbell on lead, it’s joyous and the crowd and the band are together as one in those incredible
LOVE the story Char!! And 7 years--wow. Have so many memories attached to his songs.
I think he is the only musician whose music I never get tired of hearing. So glad you like the story!

Thanks for reading, Casey. Wildflowers is such a simple yet touching song. I love it too.
God ,how I loved him. Break Down, one of my favorites. I will read your story after supper.
Thank you.
He was one of a kind for sure. Break Down is SO good. Appreciate your read!
Break Down is my fave!!!

minutes - we love you,Tom!
Right?! Idk what’s going on with posting Youtubes here lately, though. It’s like they don’t want people to share them. Grrr.
Wonderful story, you’ve captured a point in time we’ll never see again.
A simpler time for sure. Thanks, dear Jeff,
We had hoped to see him at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Golden, Colorado… sadly we missed the concert… still bummed about that. Love the story!!
Thanks! How sad you missed that concert.
