TOM PETTY
“That’s Tom’s gate.’ I’ve said that many times driving past his house. Now that Tom is gone, I feel him even more. Tom is a great artist. Not he was. His art is.
I met Tom a few times when he played the Bridge School Benefit. He sure left a mark on me. A mark that goes deeper with age. I wish I had gotten to know him better. His life was a lot like mine and i relate. What an amazing feeling, watching him in this film, ‘SOMEWHERE YOU FEEL FREE’ -The making of Wildflowers, his daughter with him in the studio, listening intently, feeling the magic of his music, his songs, his smile, his spirit. His friends, great musicians, talking about their life - friend. See that film. It’s alive.
