Description

<p>I’ve always really liked this song as part of the album but never really listened to it closely until sitting down to write this episode. And that has happened a lot over the course of the last four and a bit years of recording this show. Songs you don’t necessarily expect to reveal hidden depths do so with startling regularity. Does this song have a line the equal of “Most things I worry about never happen anyway”? No, probably not. Does it have a dramatic weight to it in the vein of It’s Good to be King”? I wouldn’t necessarily say so. But does it hold it’s own as an imperiously patient, superbly constructed gem hidden in the middle of an album that most people forgot about? Absolutely it does!</p><br><p>NOTE: There is one instance of profanity in this episode as part of a direct quote.</p><br><p>Song and links mentioned in the episode: </p><p><strong>Song :</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/PtcKlCnC6WM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/PtcKlCnC6WM</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Judge Timbers :</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/l5IzFDVskL4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/l5IzFDVskL4</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Jon Scott - Tom Petty and Me :</strong> <a href="https://tompettyandme.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tompettyandme.com</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>School of Hip :</strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579698875642" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579698875642</a></p><br><p>Follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.</p><br><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyproject</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPettyProject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TomPettyProject</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyproject</a></p><p>Boneless Podcast Network : <a href="https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app</a></p><br><p>The theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
