That Real Numbers song was excellent! --@Threemoons, TDolby sounds like such a sweetie, at least according to him. He's at MJackson's mansion, circa Thriller, and the 2 have great conversation. Then he meets a buncha local young children at his house. It was 8,9pm. Hmm...

My first little brother was so much a Tom Petty fan. And saw him two weeks ago in Seattle. Very upset.

I respect Petty, since "I Need to Know". Hey, efd, here it comes! Yeah!

I figured he's his generation's John Fogerty.
  10:59pm

I Need to Know really fit the New Wave/Punk vibe. Strident young men with a message and great songs. Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Tom Petty. Rockers, especially out of the gate.
