If you are an even semi frequent reader of my blog you know the “posting” regularity is unpredictable at best.  I write when the mood strikes. Sometimes I will go a week or more with nothing new (much to the chagrin of our web mistress Tracey).  Other times I may load new material 2 or 3 times in just a few hours.  Today is a good example of the latter.

Earlier I posted a video of environmental whack job Ed Begley Jr, losing it during a Fox News interview with Stuart Varney.  Now I want to take you in a totally different direction.

I have long admired Tom Petty.  He has shown an unwillingness to “go Hollywood” or sell out to the media establishment.  My favorite song of his is “I Won’t Back Down.”  I love it for a number of reasons, and those of you that actually know me, understand why.  To say that I can be “unyielding” is charitable.

During his 30 year career, yes it have been over 30 years, Petty has stuck to his guns on numerous occasions and the quality of his work supports that.  The video below aired yesterday on CBS’s Sunday Morning.  He was interviewed by Anthony Mason, just a few days before his 60^th birthday.  Thaaat’s right 60!  This only proves one thing. When you feel you are right, you have to believe in yourself….and you are never too old to rock.
