I am a huge Petty fan, and I feel stupid for not knowing this was a cover. I've listened to the CD for like 10 years now. I just assumed since it was a soundrack, he wrote it. Learn something new every day! Thanks RP members!
Unlike most of you folks, I quite like this song. Remember that this is a performance at a live show... not a studio album cover (that would change everything).
I go to several concerts a year, and if the set includes a cover as unlikely as this, it just makes the concert extra special.
My 2¢ :)
I'm a huge fan of Tom Petty, and registered myself on this site just to write this comment. Been a long time listener (and a supporter during the past few months) of RP - my hat goes off to any radio station that digs up gems like this from underrated albums such as this one. RP stands alone in this elite group of radio stations.
Nice.
