I bought Tom Petty’s 30th Anniversary boxed set a couple weeks ago.  First, I love Tom Petty and have since he started (I was in 7th grade).  Secondly, he took no crap from record company execs and their squadron of lawyers.  Third, this set chronicles his entire music life and is directed by Peter Bogdonovich, which is exquisite.

My favorite moment of the entire 3-disc set occurred when Tom, quite possibly for the last time in concert, waxed reflective/philosphic and asked his audience, “What if just for a moment, everything was OK?” He paused for a minute contemplating the results if his question could occur, then turned around with his hands in the air as if to refuse the glory usually aborbed by rock stars and “appeared” to be directing it to God.  It was one of the coolest moments I’ve ever seen in any concert, Christian or otherwise.  It’s still sticking with me several weeks later.

 I don’t know…it’s just been something I’ve been thinking about….
