hm1979 - 23 March, 2012 hm1979 I have loved Tom Petty since I was a kid. This love comes from my father. Growing up he always played your albums. Two years ago my dad was diagnosed with cancer. He had radiation and at the moment is cancer free!! =) This man is the love of my life, I have no idea what I would do without my father. Well, a few days ago we got to talking about bands we like, concerts, and such. I was completely surprised that my father has NEVER attended a concert (he's 65, but you would think he's 35 ha ha)!! He went on to say the only concert he would love to go to would be a Tom Petty concert =) So please, please I beg of you let me surprise my dad with some Tom Petty concert tickets... it would mean the world to us both!! Sooo, that means you have to come to Cleveland or Pittsburgh so I can make that happen!!! Thanks and keep on playin that awesome music!!!!

joanzona - 20 March, 2012 Tom Petty fan club Istanbul Hey Tom and Heartbreakers, I taught English to young adult Turkish students in Istanbul. I often used your songs for English listening lessons, as I love your music and your diction is clear and understandable. My students loved you soooooo much that we started an unofficial fan club. I honor and appreciate you all for getting me through the hard times with just the message I needed. Praise and blessings always. Joanie D devoted fan since 1978
