Ask a Part-Time Pettyologist -- THE SECOND TRY

[lordsurya08]

Thats odd... Because I dont recall posting any Petty in any thread you started.

Also, I am in college. But Im slow.

EDIT: I did post in greatest rock band. But I do not think that was hijacking that thread.

It wasn't threadjacking until you started posting the newspaper clips. But let's just forget it. It doesn't really matter.

I will not answer anything more unless that is an actual question or discussion. So don't bother.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Oh boy. If you think Im bad. Lookit what I just found:

Wow, that's a weird lady. That is way too obsessed. A friend of mine's father was a Tom Petty fan. I heard when they went to a concert they saw someone smoking a joint in the audience.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Me??? or the lady in the article?

Pretty sure he meant the lady in the article.

(And wait, Nova... someone smoked a joint at a concert?!?

Doesn't surprise me, from what Ive heard of Petty concerts.

Hehe, I was being facetious, that was mock surprise. Most concerts I go to, people indulge in such things. The exceptions are the nicer jazz clubs or the more formal concert halls with classical programs. At a Petty show? People are definitely toking.

Theres a fairly hilarious (T.P. solo) song called "Girl on LSD," which I think is only available as a B-side to one of the Wildflowers singles.
And another funny thing is that for a long time, in the video for "You Don't Know How It Feels," the word "joint" was reversed. So it's "Let's get to the point, let's roll another tnioj..." And I think a radio version somewhere changed the word "roll" to "hit."
And theres a song on the box set, called "You Get Me High." Which I heard was actually done impromptu on stage in Europe (which I believe I have a video of. I not sure though).

I challenge any of you to stump me with a reasonably legit, factual question.

Factual means it's about facts, not like "Why is T.P. better than [some other musician]?"
Legit means either you know the answer or you think it could be reasonably answered (e.g. "What side of the bed does T.P. like to sleep on?" does not count.)

What was his shoe size (UK)?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

That's one of those non-reasonable questions. But heres a pic if you wanna do an estimate. He's 5'9 if it matters.

 

[SuperJay]

I don't think anyone's going to stump you, Aimee. You're clearly the most devoted Petty fan on CFC, so I wouldn't expect any challenges from the rest of us.

That's like me asking someone to stump me with a Phish question. Owen might have a chance, but the rest of you? Good luck.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Yeah. I suppose another Petty expert (I know of at least 2 or 3) could stump me. But none of you guys could. Haha.

Aren't you really a full-time Pettyologist?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Aren't you really a full-time Pettyologist?

No, because I'm in college.

How many hours do you put into Petty reseach every day?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

How many hours do you put into Petty reseach every day?

Quite a few. A lot of it is spent looking for information. Or typing up articles. A lot of them are only in image form and it makes it harder to search through. And of course listening to concerts and such.

Actually, I've never listened to Phish before.

Try me on something late 60s-Early 70s related and I might prove slightly more unstumpable
