I personally like Tom Petty and got a chance to catch his gig at Red Rock. I like Lynyrd Skynyrd, and they are from Florida too. I still like Southern Rock so throw in the Allman Brothers from Macon. Boys, some of y'all desperately need a better social life.

LSU's disrespect turned a one time tribute into one of the coolest traditions in college football.
Nobody outside of the UF campus knows about it. Or gives a frick.

"some of y'all desperately need a better social life"
If your passion for football is such that you can't appreciate music from other places, save yourself some hate and discontent and don't come to Austin.
Most of what I appreciate about SEC Country is the music that comes from it. I don't know if I'll ever make it to Macon or Muscle Shoals or Tupelo, but if I'm close, I'll stop by; for me, those are my trips to Mecca.
The first concert I saw was Led Zeppelin, 1969 in Austin. I saw more concerts growing up than I can remember, but many of them you don't ever forget.
I saw Tom Petty in Austin in '79, Tulsa in '80, and in Austin in 2017, a few months before he passed away. Each of those shows was better than the next, and I have always said Tom Petty was one of the best live performers ever.
Was his favorite city Gainesville? Houston? St. Louis? Austin! Wherever he played, he brought the house down. I'm sure Tom enjoyed every place he played.
He got screwed over by the recording industry. and he fought back. Every musician who made a nickel recording appreciates Tom Petty, even if you don't.
quote:He did drugs? No!!! Tell me it isn't so.
Well, I won't back down
No I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down
Reminds me of the hypocrites who criticized girls for not wearing bras, but sure had a tractor-beam stare when they walked by.

Also… I happen to know his favorite city in the US was Houston. He said it a few times when I saw him in concert at the Summit.
A friend of mine saw him in St. Louis and he said St. Louis was one of his favorite cities to visit.
By my count Gainesville not even in top 2!!!
Now that is a great way of looking at this as I saw him at The Gorge in Central Washington state a few years before he passed and he said that was his favorite place on the planet!

He was such a hero and person admired by UF that they paid him minimum wage to cut grass.
Revisionist History, is not real history. We will respect him as much as you did, which is not at all.
That argument makes absolutely zero sense. If freaking Davy Crockett worked at McDonalds (I know this impossible and I am sure this will be part of your counterargument) in his youth and got paid minimum wage, does that preclude McDonalds from celebrating him as an American hero. Are you going to say McDonalds didn't respect him and admire him in what he did afterwards because they paid him what you would pay a McDonalds worker in his youth?

My social life is doing just fine, chief. It is perfectly acceptable to like southern rock and dislike this song

What song chief? I said I like Tom Petty.

Why is UF so desperate to associate itself with Tom Petty? Did he ever attend UF?
He was born and raised in Gainesville but lived most of his life in Los Angeles.

Are you dense? I said "I Won't Back Down" is a terrible song (in my opinion).

He was the least of the Wilburys, coming in fifth behind the guy from ELO .

The “least of the Wilbury’s” is still damn good. You’re talking about some of the all time greats and they asked him to join them. Obviously the other members knew he could add something positive to the band.

The LSU fan flexing kills me every time.
