minus-squaredonuts@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up27·1 year agoHow about Tom Petty? Southern rocker with great lyrics and no bullshit. One of the greats as far as I’m concerned.

She said “Tommy Petty” wouldn’t write papers, but he would write and play songs instead, so she let him do that. They were “god-awful” according to her.
