Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits. A great humpday spin with so many fantastic songs. Truly one of America's songwriting greats.

Smokehead 18yo. Islay single malt bottled by Ian MacLeod Disilleries at 46% abv. Its still a mystery which distillery this is from, if anyone knows please tell me. My guess is Ardbeg 🤷‍♂️🥃

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Tragically, Petty died of an accidental drug overdose in 2017, at the age of 66, one week after the end of the Heartbreakers' 40th Anniversary Tour.

“It’s kind of a lonely work, because you just have to keep your pole in the water. I always had a little routine of going into whatever room I was using at the time to write in, and just staying in there till I felt like I got a bite. I compare it to fishing: There’s either a fish in the boat or there’s not. Sometimes you come home and you didn’t catch anything and sometimes you caught a huge fish. But that was the work part of it to me. I just remember being excited when I had a song done, and I knew I had a song in my pocket, I always felt really excited about it.” - Tom Petty (LA Times).
