    Yes, per DMT a few pages ago.

      Here Comes My Girl would have been my pick for round 2

        Within reason. I'd think we'd only include the Wilburys songs that were "his," and we can probably assume that the ones where he was the primary vocalist are the ones he brought to the table. Taking Handle With Care would be kinda sketchy, since another band member was the driving creative force behind it.
        "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
        "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
        "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

          I can see a case for that one specifically because Petty played it live with the Heartbreakers. Tweeter and the Monkey Man, not so much.

            Eh, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm here to pick Tom Petty songs, y'all can pick whatever you like.

                These drafts... the waiting is the hardest part, amirite?

                  Alternatively, you could have said Gregg don't come around here no more, apparently.

                    It sucks when these things breakdown.

                      Here are the three Petty shows I was fortunate enough to see. All had top-notch openers: The Black Crowes in 2005 (though I missed most of their set because traffic sucked), Trey Anastasio of Phish in 2006 and My Morning Jacket in 2010.

                      The third one has a special story behind it. I got tix for this through a friend who, like me, is a massive My Morning Jacket fan. It was basically our dream bill. That afternoon, my wife got intense pains in her stomach area. She couldn't bear it and had to go to the ER. She didn't want me to miss the show, so she had her parents come up (a 2-hour drive) to relieve me in the ER so I could get there. Turned out that pain was a byproduct of an embryo implanting. Pregnancy was confirmed about a week later and our son was born the following April.

                        That never would come to me.

                          Sadly, since I don't think I have ever participated in one of these drafts, I don't know how it feels to be you.

                            You belong in song drafts, not among the wildflowers.

                              Rule #137 of Song Draft is: No spoilers! Referencing songs that haven't been picked yet is punishable by, uh, something terrible, probably.
