Piles and piles of Tom Petty....
I don't think I've ever watched a SuperBowl halftime but I did want to see Tom Petty. I've read mixed reviews but I gotta say Ernie and I were WAY happy watching and hearing him. Mike Campbell looked cool as always (Ernie just rolled his eyes and said that Campbell was definitely a Cynthia-type....I do love my husband).
I thought he looked great and sounded great...at least I feel some TENSION in his music. LIke I need more tension.....and speaking of tension....I love Todd Snider's song Vinyl Records..... When he says 'piles and piles and piles of Tom Petty' I stop and think and say YES.....
