I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-ass cat named Steve MillerTom Petty. Steve MillerTom Petty didn't have his shit going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherfucker just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherfucking place, everybody dug it.

btw this new album is pretty dang boring :(

one of the revelations of the new Smiths book (There Is A Light That Never Goes Out) is that Marr was a huge Petty fan
