Paying dues was never more true than when one thinks of Tom Petty. Especially in anything creative, paying dues is not just one battle. Petty always remembered that dues paying never stops.
Petty's songs and The Heartbreakers' music were their own.

With lyrics that never preached, never told, but showed us the stories that define the human condition no matter the age in which one lives.
Inviting us on a journey to go within, examine ourselves as they examined themselves.
Tom Petty.
Gone just eighteen days shy of beginning his sixty-eighth year.
