Won’t Back Down!
Summer is a always a great time to enjoy a concert, and last night, we enjoyed a good one…Tom Petty. As usual, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers put on great show, which was held this year, at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. The show included several of his classics including: “Free Falling,” “Running Down a Dream,” “Breakdown,” and of course an on-core ending with…”American Girl.”
The song however, that struck me was, “I Won’t Back Down!” It is funny how song lyrics make you think about certain things. While listening to the lyrics, I thought to myself, “This could be the theme for the stone industry.” With the rise in myths and false claims, the industry is fighting back, and “Won’t Back Down,” especially in regards to radon.
Anyway—enough about these thoughts about work. Back to the concert…The music was good and overall, the show was a hit for both fans young and old.
Thanks for reading!

Hey Barb,
was at the concert on wednesday it was an amazing show. Tom Petty is an awesome performer, plays to the crowd so well.
We had great seats on the floor about 20 rows back. It was suppose to be a sit down concert but there’s no way anyone in the target center was sitting down for the songs Petty played. We were dancing the whole time.
For those of you who didn’t make the show I strongly suggest you go the next time their in town, you won’t be disappointed.
P.S. Steve Winwood was great as well, I hadn’t listened to much of his music until he played a bunch of songs that got me saying “Oh…he plays this song.”

Jeff:
Thanks for your comments. I agree he puts on a great show, and for those who haven’t seen Tom Petty in concert, it is worth seeing.
Thanks!
