Episode 8 -- Tom Petty
1 RecommendationsYou'd be hard-pressed to find a music fan who doesn't like Tom Petty, and for good reason -- the man is a true legend, and his songs are timeless (not to mention literally everywhere, including Silence of the Lambs and the NBA). We talk about this phenomenon, along with our strange experience at a Tom show in NJ, a friend who got a very surprising visit from Tom, Tom's wild and amazing music videos, and associating Tom's music with all things summer. Be sure to share your Tom stories with us at @stephaniestalktunes on all the socials. Cheers to Tom and cheers to summer.
