Don’t be dissing Tom Petty. He grew up in Gainesville, which is hardly backwater. He took exception to G Dub using one of his songs, and his family took exception to Trump trying to use the same song. He was honored when Obama used the same song. “I Won’t Back Down” was the song in question. He didn’t wear his politics on his sleeve and kept it out of his songwriting for the most part, but he was definitely left of center.
