My Tom Petty Story

Since I work to keep the podcast episodes evergreen and not get into current events in them, my new favorite way of procrastinating when it's time to edit each week's show is to record a short video about my thoughts on the week. 

In light of all the awful news from back home and the heightened geopolitical tensions around the world right now, I wanted to share a story that made me smile when I remembered it due to the untimely passing of musical legend Tom Petty... 

*Spoiler alert* I didn't meet him in person; it was on a phone call. But still, I thought it was a funny little random story and worth sharing, in a time of such otherwise wretched news. It involves Athens, Georgia, a crappy telemarketing job at a place called DialAmerica, and my (then) young musician's sense of ethics.

Enjoy!
