Day Three of the Top 2000 Countdown - Learning to Fly

Welcome to the third day of the Top 2000 countdown!  Today we are counting down the best songs of all time, from #1181 - 1812.

Today I picked #1278 - Learning to Fly by Tom Petty.  

Tom was my rock and roll idol in my late teens.  I had a big poster of him in on the wall of my first apartment. He was wearing that red shirt from the cover of the Damn The Torpedos album. I saw him at the (now defunct) St Paul Auditorium back in the early 80's, and it was amazing.  I still can't believe he's gone.

Here's my tribute to Learning to Fly...

and here's Tom singing it...
