It usually happens in threes...Heff, Petty....who's gonna be next?
“Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman – or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.” – George Burns
Tom Petty was a window to the future for me, after The Allman Bros and Lynyrd Skynyrd untimely demise it was like 'what now'? TP was like, yea that will work.

I saw them three times on that tour and you are correct. Tom played bass guitar on that song at times and he said at least once "Its time to get out the heavy artillery" as he switched guitars. He was having a blast.
That is another great song, I agree, better than the original. TP was a touring machine in the years, he would play a community college campus or anywhere he could get a gig. The audience participation he could elicit was incredible, not sure if this carried over into the later years, last I saw him was '79 in Seattle.

I've been revisiting some old Tom Petty albums that I haven't listened to for a while. This is from the She's The One soundtrack. Tom was asked to submit a song for the soundtrack and he delivered an entire album. The studio used all of it. https://youtu.be/849zt3HSI_U

Kind of disheartening for us older folks.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
LAPD is now saying they can't confirm his death and the LA coroner has no reports of his death.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
