    10.07 Honey Bee (check out the reaction to Dave Grohl's drumming!)



    11.01 You're Gonna Get It

    "You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

          11.04 Last Night (Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1)

          Tom wrote this one.

          If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

            11.05 - You Tell Me (Damn The Torpedoes, 1979)



            Not considered one of the A-list songs from the record, but I think this slinky little jam is pretty tasty.
            "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."

              11.06 Makin' Some Noise (Into the Great Wide Open, 1991)

              My favorite from ITGWO. My wife was peeved last night because I was making too much noise listening to this song while she was trying to sleep.

                    Yeah, this one is technically written by Harrison, but Petty sings significant portions of it. And I like its wistful, melancholy nature. And it's a good one to end on.

                      And here's the one I was sitting on for most of the draft.

                      12.02 Since You Said You Loved Me (recorded 1975, not released until Playback box set, 1995)



                      Mudcrutch was signed to Shelter Records in 1974 but broke up before they could put out a full album. Shelter decided it wanted to keep Petty as a solo artist, and spent 1975 trying out various approaches with him before the Heartbreakers formed. This song is a fascinating glimpse into a road not taken. Petty tried his hand at blue-eyed soul and the label assembled a crack backing band: Al Kooper on keys, Emory Gordy on bass and Jim Gordon on drums. The playing is fantastic and Petty's voice works the material much better than I thought it would. It could pass for mid-70s Hall & Oates.

                      The same lineup also cut the version of Louisiana Rain that appears on the box set.

                      Benmont Tench, who ended up transitioning with Petty and Mike Campbell from Mudcrutch to the Heartbreakers, was "stunned" when he first heard this and said he thought he was out of a job.

                        12.03 - To Find A Friend (Wildflowers, 1994)



                        I find it funny that they bothered to bring Ringo Starr in to drum on this track, since I probably could have programmed the simplistic beat in less time than it took for Ringo to be driven from his hotel to the studio...

                          I had to get something from the 70s.
