My wife ordered the flick from Netflix a while ago. We waited to watch it until we were, um, in the mood. See, we're both pushing 60, busy lives, but we're just crazy about each other--I'm the luckiest guy on the planet. So anyway I'm at work now, but I'm gonna lock my office door and hit the fre...

I remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving north on Arlington Street, near the foot of Bernal Heights, in San Francisco--just finished dropping off my buddy George at his place. This song came on the radio.

I had to pull the car over, turn off the engine, and listen. I was just i...

Thanks so much to PhadreusVixen, Suzie, and Phil. I'm thinking of almost exactly the same procedure, and it helps to see you go through this, so I know what to expect.

Git on up! Git on up! I say, git on up! Git on up...

And I thought MY commute was tough...

Seriously, this vid is too good. Just what I needed to "scrape it down to the rind," as Mr. Natural used to say...

Let's see: should I listen to this again, or listen to "Blood and Roses" again that's open in the other window?...decisions, decisions...

Terrific song. I printed out the lyrics, we're renting the DVD of the flick, and when everybody comes over next week for Thanksgiving they better be prepared to sing because I'm turning up the volume.

My wife and I danced to this at our wedding. We surprised our guests: just moments after we said, "I do" and kissed each other, my son-in-law clicked a remote and this came over the loudspeakers, and we went right into our dance. We were both crying, and pretty soon half the guests were, too. Tha...

Man, I love the harmonies in this song--who doesn't want to jump in at the chorus and take that high "feel a whole lot better, when you're go-o-o-ne!!" behind Petty's lead?? Makes me wanna go out and buy a tambourine and when I get home tonight, hit this up, crank up the speakers, grab my wife an...

I'm truly touched by all you great folks who have wished me well. You'll be happy to learn that I'm still doing great!

It took something like cancer to teach me how fortunate I am. The support I've received has been mind-boggling: my medical team, my coworkers picking up the slack while I was of...

@hailtheblackdragons I totally agree. For years, the chord change at about 2:40 makes the hairs stand up on my arms.

This song is one of the reasons I finally said, "Screw it--I'm moving to California" and came out here in 1971. I met a few "California girls" before finally finding my soul mate in 2006 (not long after I turned 55--never give up!). She's a true California girl--they never age, no matter how old ...
