	9:24pm Uncle Michael: Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo...

	9:32pm KidProJoe: Grew up a Cubs fan on the Southside, It was rough
	9:35pm Uncle Michael: Soulfinger!
	9:37pm Dion Chalksee: SS Cubs fans are a dime a dozen nowadays. Where'd you grow up, joe?
	9:39pm KidProJoe: Very few in the 80s. Morgan Park.

	10:56pm Cooh John: Tried to listen to every TP record on cassette doing a long road trip in '82 but my buddy cut it off after the 2nd cassette.
	10:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Tommy - For sure. You could fill a whole show with his songs. Thanks, efd.
	10:57pm Cooh John: I don't know how long I can hold on...
	10:57pm johnk77: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers/1980/the-palladium-new-york-ny-2bd474d2.html thanx again @efd
	10:58pm Scraps: My first little brother was so much a Tom Petty fan. And saw him two weeks ago in Seattle. Very upset. I respect Petty, since "I Need to Know". Hey, efd, here it comes! Yeah! I figured he's his generation's John Fogerty.
	10:59pm Stevel: I Need to Know really fit the New Wave/Punk vibe. Strident young men with a message and great songs. Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Tom Petty. Rockers, especially out of the gate.
	10:59pm Cooh John: My kids sang this song to me for my 50th birthday.
	11:00pm gregory: Thanks Evan , for a proper tribute to the man. An American original . This one hurts .
	11:01pm Scraps: Straight up rock and roll, hit after hit,just kept coming. Had a knack
	11:02pm Julie M: Hurts because it was so unexpected. Evan, you're making me stay up later than usual, and maybe making me cry a little.
	11:03pm johnk77: straight out of gainesville going by out on 441
	11:03pm jmd: What? Nothing from Hard Promises?
	11:03pm Hanley Ramirez: My Man.
	11:03pm Figgsrock: This is just what I needed EFD. And thank Warren for the "Same Old You" pick.
	11:05pm Cooh John: @Hanley Ramirez: Been saying the same since the 70's. Tom Petty, he's my man.
	11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe the placement is similar to why grocery stores put the milk in the back corner opposite of the entrance.
	11:08pm Joe B: great point ken!
	11:10pm jmd: It’s a ‘corner’ song. First or last on either side of the slab.
	11:14pm Scraps: Yep, jmd. And leave the listener satisfied.
	11:23pm Figgsrock: Wow EFD, nothing like playing back to back tracks from 2 of my fave LPs of the year. I am getting my Swag for Life money's worth tonight!
	11:24pm Ajax: Great tribute, thanks. That American Girl gets me every time.
	11:28pm PJ: Thank you for the Petty tribute, Evan.
	11:28pm efd: thanks Ajax, Figgs, Cooh, Hanley, Scraps, Julie, and everyone!. Sorry about the lack of Hard Promises cuts jmd, that's kind of a blind spot for me for some reason.
	11:53pm Figgsrock: Hey EFD, this is actually "Tonight"--did you mean to play this one?
	11:55pm efd: hm, nope, apparently our promo cd is mis-labeled. Thanks for the tip!
	11:57pm efd: ... or mis-sequenced, because the label matches the track list I see online.
	11:57pm lcdpee: is it just me or is"tonite" playing at a higher speed than it should be?

	10:57pm johnk77: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers/1980/the-palladium-new-york-ny-2bd474d2.html thanx again @efd
	10:58pm Scraps: My first little brother was so much a Tom Petty fan. And saw him two weeks ago in Seattle. Very upset. I respect Petty, since "I Need to Know". Hey, efd, here it comes! Yeah! I figured he's his generation's John Fogerty.
	10:59pm Stevel: I Need to Know really fit the New Wave/Punk vibe. Strident young men with a message and great songs. Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Tom Petty. Rockers, especially out of the gate.
	10:59pm Cooh John: My kids sang this song to me for my 50th birthday.
	11:00pm gregory: Thanks Evan , for a proper tribute to the man. An American original . This one hurts .
	11:01pm Scraps: Straight up rock and roll, hit after hit,just kept coming. Had a knack
	11:02pm Julie M: Hurts because it was so unexpected. Evan, you're making me stay up later than usual, and maybe making me cry a little.
	11:03pm johnk77: straight out of gainesville going by out on 441
	11:03pm jmd: What? Nothing from Hard Promises?
	11:03pm Hanley Ramirez: My Man.
	11:03pm Figgsrock: This is just what I needed EFD. And thank Warren for the "Same Old You" pick.
	11:05pm Cooh John: @Hanley Ramirez: Been saying the same since the 70's. Tom Petty, he's my man.
	11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe the placement is similar to why grocery stores put the milk in the back corner opposite of the entrance.
	11:08pm Joe B: great point ken!
	11:10pm jmd: It’s a ‘corner’ song. First or last on either side of the slab.
	11:14pm Scraps: Yep, jmd. And leave the listener satisfied.
	11:23pm Figgsrock: Wow EFD, nothing like playing back to back tracks from 2 of my fave LPs of the year. I am getting my Swag for Life money's worth tonight!
	11:24pm Ajax: Great tribute, thanks. That American Girl gets me every time.
	11:28pm PJ: Thank you for the Petty tribute, Evan.
	11:28pm efd: thanks Ajax, Figgs, Cooh, Hanley, Scraps, Julie, and everyone!. Sorry about the lack of Hard Promises cuts jmd, that's kind of a blind spot for me for some reason.
	11:53pm Figgsrock: Hey EFD, this is actually "Tonight"--did you mean to play this one?
	11:55pm efd: hm, nope, apparently our promo cd is mis-labeled. Thanks for the tip!
	11:57pm efd: ... or mis-sequenced, because the label matches the track list I see online.
	11:57pm lcdpee: is it just me or is"tonite" playing at a higher speed than it should be?
