I bought this book with so much anticipation of what it may contain! I was an immediate fan of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers since their first hit played on my car radio on the East Coast...it was love at first listen! I had to find out more, I drove to my local record store and bought the album., Then after that, I remember a DJ on a Providence, RI radio station giving a "shout out" to a guy named Jon Scott for "Discovering Tom Petty and his band". That was the one and only time the name Jon Scott was ever heard by me. Until I read on Tom Petty Nation that a new book, was going to be released! The author was none other than Jon Scott! When my book arrived, I loved the cover, it had writing on it clearly in Tom's handwriting to Jon! I had not even opened the book and and I felt like Jon had shared a private gift! I read a lot, I normally would pay attention to details about structure and boring tid bits like that....but not with THIS book. No sir, this was such an intimate experience reading every detail, laughing at so many different things shared by Jon Scott, my favorite being the "Fax Machine" story, I felt like I was being "let in", to a VERY special world, Tom Petty's world. It is so eloquently written by his very close friend Jon Scott, it is my A #1 book, of any category that I honestly enjoyed cover to cover! Thank you Jon Scott for everything you have done!!!! This is your legacy and your Masterpiece! I am honored to now "know" you!
Congratulations!
