Just watched Peter Bogdanovich's four hour (2 DVD) movie Running Down A
Dream and loved it.
I have to say that I was never consciously a big fan of Petty, but after
watching the biography and all the great songs as a whole, it dawned on me
that I was in denial and that Petty is one of the great American
songwriters. I feel sorta guilty for always having considered him the 'lucky
guest' in the Traveling Wilburys. There's also a third disc of the 30th
anniversary concert and a fourth disc which is an audio CD of some of the
songs from the film. It's a great package and apparently there's a
companion book package (a la Beatles anthology) that you can buy separately.
High marks from me.
