T.P. is my all time favorite singer. His best song was Rebels. I went to the True Confessions tour in '86 when he, Bob Dylan, and the Grateful Dead were featured. That was my first and only encounter with the "dead heads". The albums done post-"Pack Up The Plantation" just weren't my cup of tea. |

Birth year
Was Tom Petty born 1950 or 1953? Google doesn't help, giving many sources for each version. Dbenbenn 01:47, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I did some checking, and there are a lot of sources saying that he was born in 1953, as well as in 1950. However, there are more than a few sources which agree with the below that he graduated from high school in 1968, but I couldn't find any suggesting that he graduated 1970-1972. This seems like pretty good evidence that 1950 is right, unless we find something that says he graduated three years early. - Nat Krause 19:33, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
=== Tom Petty was born === in 1950. Tom graduated in 1968 one year ahead of my sister Carolyn and me from Gainesville High School. My sister was born in 1951 and I was born in 1952. My sister and I were in the same grade because I skipped third grade. My mother and I did a radio talk show in Gainesville, Florida for ten years on 97X radio station called "Down The Street". We had the pleasure of interviewing Tom's father Earl Petty several times. We also went to school with Tom's two cousins Sadie and Norma Darnell.
Tom is a wonderful person and an incredible muscian and songwriter. Always has been, always will be.
