Into the Great Wide Open.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

I remember blasting this song while driving through the Florida Everglades, watching the great blue open sky before me as I drove along to brilliant sunshine. It felt so absolutely perfect and I felt so good.

No one wrote a song for a road trip like Tom Petty. No one.

RIP Tom.

20. He also managed to make a very silly movie about a post-apocalyptic postman very enjoyable.
