My Thanksgiving break begins today!!!! I'm not sure how good I will be with blogging over the break, for I will most likely be in a mashed potato induced coma. Happy, yes, but very lethargic, a condition I refer to as "beached whale" syndrome. I thought I should at least tie today's post into the Thanksgiving spirit so I'm going with Tom Petty. Why you might ask? Well one of the things I am most thankful for is my family (forgive the Thanksgiving "what are you thankful for? cliche there). But I truly am. I love my parents, sisters, nephew, brother in law, and my sister's boyfriend who is coming home very soon from Kuwait :) and all my many cousins, aunts, and uncles. When it comes to music, we all have extremely varied tastes but there is one artist we all love: Tom Petty. When I think about it, on the surface T.P. might not be the most obvious choice for this rare find, but he is! His songs have a universal quality that even a colorful assortment of people can all find something to love in them. I liken listening to Tom Petty as listening to an old friend, one that captures an emotion or story that you can easily relate to and enjoy. Even if my family only finds one artist that we all love, if it's Tom Petty it's enough for me. Happy Thanksgiving!
You Wreck Me - Tom Petty
