Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

==Info==
Singer-songwriter popular in the seventies and eighties. Mary Jane's Last Dance was rumored to be about marijuana, but these rumors were denied by Petty, who claims that it could just as well be a song about a final moment before a breakup. Free Fallin' mentions various locations in the Los Angeles area. Running Down a Dream mentions "Me and Del were singin' little runaway". This refers to early rock and roll musician Del Shannon and his hit Runaway. The lyrics for Learning to Fly were inspired by a pilot in training who told him that "coming down" is the hardest part. His backing group, The Heartbreakers, is not to be confused with a band of the same name led by New York Dolls member Johnny Thunders. He is considered a heartland rocker despite coming from Florida.
