If Tom Petty were alive today, he would be drinking Bud Light.
Am I doing this right?

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen on this website.
Put this address into Google Maps: 1715 NE Sixth Terrace, Gainesville, FL
You see a school next to his house. I went there for 8 years. We used to chuck unwanted items from our lunch boxes over the fence and onto his street, landing one house down from his mostly, probably rolled up onto his yard and driveway more than a few times. And I rode my bike and walked with friends past his house, hundreds of times.
"The three-bedroom, two-bath home is where Petty spent most of his childhood. The nearby park was renamed Tom Petty Park after his death in 2017. He was 66.
Benyo Petty, aka Jane Petty, and Tom Petty met shortly after he graduated high school and lived a few blocks from each other as kids. They married in 1974 and divorced in 1996. The couple had two children together — Adria and Annakim.
"When I went to the house, it had changed and it didn't look the same, but I thought we should have it in the family," Benyo Petty said.
Petty was born and raised in Gainesville and formed the band Mudcrutch early in his musical career. He later performed with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, playing alongside Bob Dylan, Beatles guitarist George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison."

I bought his greatest hits on vinyl a few weeks ago.
I didn't have any Tom Petty and when he died, I figured I should get a record.

The ‘79 Gators were the inspiration behind Free Fallin.

He grew up in Gainesville. I would count that a bit more than just passing through.
My IQ lowers just a little bit every time I visit this website.
