Episode 558
One more thing from my Tom Petty listening adventure (I did After Dark from 82, Let Me Up from 87 and Hypnotic Eye from '14) - in another life, I was a producer. Let Me Up is a fantastic record, and Tom had help with Bob writing one of the three singles, 'Jammin Me', but the 3 they chose for the singles, NONE of them are as good as the record's 9th track, 'Ain't Love Strange', which I (or anyone else who hadn't heard this record) would've missed - but it's gotta be one of Tom's best songs. Fuckin unreal.
Here. Listen to THIS shit. And then listen to all of 'Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)': https://youtu.be/NXysGNwC0w4
The memory remains …
Late in 1981 an ad in The Recycler, an LA weekly, reads: "Drummer looking for other metal musicians to jam with Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Iron Maiden." Guitarists James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner of Leather Charm answered the advertisement and on March 14, 1982, Metallica makes their live debut on the Radio City stage in Aneheim, California. #metallica #80smetal #80srock #hughtanner #jameshetfield #larsulrich #rock #rockmusic #music…
Just listened to Tom Petty's 'After Dark' (from 1982) fully for the first time, (I of course knew the song 'You Got Lucky') - but I get to the end, and the last song, 'A Wasted Life' had this melody that I couldn't place.. until I did. It's like, the EXACT same melody (and even NOTES, I just listened to them one after the other) as Vanity Faire's single 'Hitchin' a Ride' from 1969.
Through the years, Tom had different issues here and there with suing others for similar songs (Sam Smith) or not (the Chili Peppers) - and I loved the guy and his music (RIP), but man, Tom, 'A Wasted Life' is like, a DIRECT rip from 'Hitchin' a Ride'. 😂
Bret Michaels doesn’t get enough credit for what he’s survived and still overcome. From selling out arenas with Poison in the 80s to surviving a life-threatening brain hemorrhage in 2010 and still getting back on stage… that kind of resilience is rare in rock.

Well, man discovered
the park bench
can make a transition
And the rubbish tip
makes a valid form
of nutrition
With discoveries like these,
civilisation agrees
To give itself
a pat on the back
