the longevity and resilience that it takes to make it in the music business let alone stay for years is unbelievable and just goes to show you that what ever your dream is.you can have it!įavorite quote's of the book come from Dave Grohl and Tom's Daughter Adria:ĭave :"There that universal element where when you see TP play and he is singing a song, there's twelve thousand people singing along with him, and they might be singing for twelve thousand reasons.that's the coolest feeling in the world when you can get a song that everyone can connect with. What a magical career Tom and the guys have had.to work with all of the rock gods and goddesses and have them in return say how much they admire his work ethic and determination was really great. My son gave this to me a few years ago for Christmas and I had forgotten it on my book shelf, well now it will be plainly visible so that anyone who comes over can look at it! What a great gift!! This is not just a coffee table book, the pictures are amazing and they are beautifully done, but the story and bi lines from band members, producers, rock legends and even Tom P daughter Adria weigh in on how the past 30 + years have gone is memorable. I have been a big TPH fan since I heard American Girl. This is a reference to Del Shannon and his popular song, Runaway.Īlso, an instrumental version of this song was used on ESPN commercials for Sunday Night Baseball.I loved this book! and when I say I loved it.it was incredible. AndrÃ?s from Baton Rouge, LaThe lyrics mention "Del" and "Little Runaway".Caitlin from Sailsbury, Nci love tom petty.Danny from Sydney, Australiadamn this is a good song.Blair from Peterborough, CanadaDel Shannon worked on this Album.Steve from Oakland, CaLove it on GTA san andreas.Amay from Edison, NjOne of the best solos ever is in this song.Wow it's in GTA San Andreas!?! That suprises me! Johnny from Los Angeles, CaWow I must say Tom Petty's best song ever.I also went to a Tom Petty concert a few years back in the middle of a desert. I remember seeing the music video when I was younger. I read somewhere that they won't be using popular songs for GTA 4. Evil Joe from Suffragette City, CoGTA games usually pick good songs for their classic rock radio stations.I was shocked that she knew that song, especially considering that most ladies in their twenties are (sadly) into kiddie pop and rap. Darrell from EugeneI have an amusing anecdote to tell about this song: I was driving from Portland to Eugene (both Oregon) in my Alfa Romeo 164 with my lovely lady Serena when "Runnin' Down a Dream" by Tom Petty came on, and Serena started to sing along, not to "Runnin' Down a Dream", but to Del Shannon's legendary hit "Little Runaway".Kevin from Memphis, TnYou can't any better than this live.The guitar solo at the end is awesome too! It's just waiting to be used for a montage in a road-trip movie. Ben from Gosford, AustraliaI loved this song when I first heard it back in 1989 as a 4 year-old, and I still think it's a great song.Thomas from Somerville, AlI don't know about best song ever but, it is definately a Petty classic.as is just about everything the man ever wrote, sang, performed.Carli from Pheonix, AzI would LOVE listening to this driving fast on the freeway, in GTA of course.Eric from Rhinelander, WiThis song appears to be about a man running down a dream that constantly eludes him.I always say to people he's "Runnin' Down A Dream." This song never gets old. But when my dog's asleep and he's dreaming, his legs start running. I believe it's about chasing your dreams. Peter from Davenport,flWhy is this song not included in the "Songs with Animated Videos" category?.Seventhmist from 7th HeavenMy favorite of his and the "Little Nemo In Slumberland" video is amazing.The dynamic beauty of the music comes through in a way it cannot when sharing space with the lyrics. Oliver Clothesoff from Over There An amazing song, but go to YouTube sometime and play the instrumental-only version.
