Tom Petty

take my horse down to the water


Let him graze awhile. [Tom Petty and Mudcrutch]

Sometimes every song is a ‘for old time’s sake’. It takes my thoughts to the thoughts I had when I heard that song…some time ago. A vague semblance of those thoughts. I never figure out why yesterday’s thoughts feel more precious than today’s.

I like Tom Petty. I won’t ever hear that song I don’t think it’s the sound of his soul. If I could, I’d ask him, it’s not about your niece, Laura…is it?

He calls it a quiet song. When I hear Tom Petty’s voice in that song, it says to me, listen people, this is precious. I want you to listen to this…it’s precious. Damn it, it’s precious. I agree, Tom Petty, it’s precious.
