I’m gonna free fall out into nothin’
Gonna leave this world for awhile. – Tom Petty
I know that seeing all one’s favorite entertainers die off one by one is part of aging, but damn, Tom Petty now! His video for “Don’t Come Around Here No More” is one of my favorite short films, but this video is the one that first made me realize that he was great rather than merely good. The links above it were provided by Jesse Walker (“fascism”, “happens” and “wrong”); Tushy Galore (“correction”); and Kevin Wilson (“rules”).

- This is called “correction”.
- I hate it when this happens.

- Rules are more important than people.
