WCLZ was playing Tom Petty, “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” and how could you not laugh at that? A little on the nose, right? But there was Tom, on cue, when I needed him. I felt so good, like anything was possible… Not so hard to buy into it. I was broke, yes, but I was young and had a plan and was a tough SOB. Those were the things I knew in my bones. There’s something good waitin’ down this road… Damn straight there was. Rest in peace, Tom Petty.
