“Tom Petty’s LA”

Die hard Tom Petty fans will surely be psyched to read Daphne Carr’s article that came out in the LA Weekly on Wednesday. This has got to be one of the niftiest pieces written on Tom Petty that I have read (more like interacted with) in a while.

Any longtime fan knows that there are numerous references to Southern California in both Tom Petty’s songwriting as well as his (and the Heartbreakers’) rock and roll story. The article is paired with a map of Los Angeles that has the locations of various song references and critical points in Tom Petty’s journey marked and numbered.

Here is the map: Tom Petty’s Los Angeles

Check out the article to get the skinny on how all of it fits together.
