RIP Tom Petty, one-third of my mom's favorite triumvirate of singers (Bruce and Van Morrison being the other two), and the best of them in my humble opinion.
Walleris you should check him, many many great lyrics and a voice I'd never get tired of listening to. Oh and the Alice in Wonderland video was one of my faves as a kid, it fascinated and terrified me at the same time
