@JTH850KID Find the book "Conversations With Tom Petty". In it, he talks about all his recorded input all the way to Highway Companion. WHen talking about "Southern Accents" he mentions this song in a real bad light. The book is awesome. Worth seeking out.
Tom Petty has and always will be one of the classics - influencing so many other artists. I saw him live in the large Auditorium in Jerusalem, the "Sultan's Pool" where I also saw Dire Straits - another bad of stature. This particular song doesn't move me as much as some of this others, but there is no denying that he rarely has a miss.
@mdlman583 ...You remind me of an insect breaking wind in a hurricane. There always has to be some small speck(youtube geek) yapping at a giant. What have you ever done, and why do the weasels even bother making fools of themselves?
@EricTheSchmidt I was thinking the same. And I'm pretty sure it is because these songs are on the same album. So the video's were probably shot around the same time.
@lightmyfir3 wikipedia says that Wish Foley is the name of the actress who played alice. petty has usa tour right now and i'm stuck in sweden :( hope his new album will be good so i won't be to sad
@EricTheSchmidt I know he has a tour. It is a shame he isn't stopping in Las Vegas. I want to go so bad but tickets are so expensive. But who knows how much longer he will be doing this.
Has anyone noticed his weird sunglases?

@MrKoreyjay Because Tom doesn't particularely like this song. Same reason it wasn't on any compilation except the Playback boxed set.

Its like the perfect blend of the nostalgic late 50's early 60's music mixed with the upbeat 70's funk.
