RIP Tom Petty
Tom Petty died today, aged 66. I won't claim to be a huge Tom Petty fan, but I've bought an album or two and sang along in the car to one of those songs everyone knows. I'll stream a lot of his catalog today to remember the songs I've heard once or hundreds of times.
I also owe Petty credit for a singular moment in my life, and one I never expected to last in my mind.
Nearly 20 years ago, I was a fresh-ish faced transplant to Ann Arbor, MI by way of my first "real job" out of college, working for a software company in Dexter. I was renting a house with some other folks who'd also been displaced as a result of a fire at my first apartment.

ReplyDeleteExcept that the statement that this country was founded on religion is a lie. This country was founded on the principals of freedom from religion. The whole reason the initial settlers came here was to escape government imposed religion. Just because they had their own religion doesn't equal this country being founded on that religion.
