“In late 1980, while Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers were recording what would become their album Hard Promises, Petty became increasingly aware of a certain famous fan trying to crash the line-up of the group. “She started a campaign for me to write her a song, and I kept saying:No, I don’t have time,’” Petty recalled. “And she said: ‘Please, just write me a song.’ So she wore me down. When you write for other people, you often write in their style. But the truth is if somebody comes to you looking for a song, they’re really looking for something that sounds like you; they’ve got plenty of things that sound like them. She was more attracted to the bluesier music, because it was something she didn’t do. So I wrote her a song called Insider. I played it for Jimmy and he was just elated.” After the track was recorded, Nicks went to Sound City studio in LA, and Petty sang Insider with her. “Stevie naturally gravitated to the harmony part,” Tench recalls. “And Tom loved the way her voice sounded. The harmony blend was perfect.” At this point the story gets hazy. In 1981, Petty said that out of “terrible guilt” he offered to give Nicks another song instead of Insider, and played her a few castoffs from that year’s Hard Promises sessions. She jumped at Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, which Petty co-wrote with guitarist Mike Campbell.

“Mickey Mouse was first inked in Silver Lake and debuted at a Hollywood test screening in May 1928— but it was retired Disney archivist Dave Smith who made the mouse a Scorpio. ‘I found a program for New York’s Colony Theatre dated November 18, 1928,’ said Smith. ‘They opened at noon with Steamboat Willie, so we even know what time he was born.’”
“Maybe it is true what they say, that playing these Chuck Berry songs is easy. But try singing them. The words come out hard, like bullets.” ~Chuck Berry (photo by Ed Roseberry of Berry playing at UVA, 1965)
