Friday Night Music

I heard this one driving home tonight. 

Theme song for the political season?

Great find ... but I always thought this was strictly a Tom Petty hit. I’ve never heard the reference to Traveling Wilburys before.

I didn’t know that either.

WAsn’t that Roy Orbinson, Waylon, Kristopherson and ....


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Good Ole’ Tom Petty.  I seem to recall that in his early days he was bucktoothed enough to eat corn off the cob through a chainlink fence, but dang, that boy could sing.

He was one of my alltime favorites from the 80’s along with George Thorogood, Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams.

The Republican Congress needs to play that song before they allow the Dems to push Socialist programs on us. I Love that song!

George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty were the Traveling Wilburys.

Some serious heavyweights there.

Nice pick.

Tom Petty FTW.  Although Running Down a Dream might have fit the election a bit better.
