Hey, hi! Glad you
stopped by ;-)
The Battle of The Bands
(BOTB) is your basic Which-do-you-like-best contest where the one that gets the
most votes wins. All you have to do is show up (the 1st of every
month) give a listen and cast your vote in the comment section. Votes will be
tallied and the winner revealed on or about the 8th day of the
month.
In honor of the Fourth
of July, we dodged the last- minute traffic and hit the road for the mountains before
the half-day workers had a chance to fill out their PTO forms, while the blacktop
temperature was still just below that of molten lava.
The song I’ve chosen
for this month’s Battle of The Bands is from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
first album and while it was never really a hit, it was undeniably one of their
most popular songs. Despite the urban myth about the song being about a
suicidal young woman, Petty said it was not. He also said it wasn’t even as
patriotic as many assumed, though the track was cut on the 4th of
July. Whether Tom Petty meant it as patriotic or not, it works for this
American Girl! Here’s a reminder if you
need it:
