Somebody, somewhere might kick him around some for this. nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #120

He wouldnt have it any other way...hard to see his face and not think of that Costner film randys1 Jul 2014 #84

As usual, Tom Petty speaks from his heart. A great artist, a good man. Bluenorthwest Jul 2014 #21

Who is "they" that will accuse him of hating the Church? Pogue Jul 2014 #147

Where do people tell you to shut up about it? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #148

Poor Howie. Came to a sad end, didn't he. nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #121

for real. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #126

Second time you've posted this in similar Tom Petty threads. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #50

Are you following me? rug Jul 2014 #52

No. I read the thread in religion, and the comments. Noticed your video. Didn't get it. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #54

If you listened to the words, it's about a child molester. rug Jul 2014 #55

Is it? AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #56

You tell me. rug Jul 2014 #57

Yes, I read the lyrics several times. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #58

oh. my. god. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #61

What exactly do you think is being implicated? rug Jul 2014 #62

You said, " it's about a child molester." It's not. You made that up. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #63

I didn't make this up: rug Jul 2014 #65

I don't think that really supports your position for the reasons I specified. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #66

Still not about a child molester. Again, you're the only one who reads it that way. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #67

Hardly the only one. Besides you single blog post for evidence, google it. rug Jul 2014 #68

mmmm, bzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Nope, you're the only one. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #69

You keep telling yourself that. rug Jul 2014 #73

totes legit source! PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #75

"you're the only one who reads it that way" rug Jul 2014 #85

you + one random anonymous idiot in the general comments of lyric site. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #87

I'm used to speaking to random anonymous idiots, nikki. rug Jul 2014 #89

lol... BURN!! PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #90

I seriously doubt you're laughing. rug Jul 2014 #91

Oh, I am. Out loud, even. At you. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #92

I'm surprised you're able to punctuate. rug Jul 2014 #93

My cat just posted a status on his FB page corroborating my story. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #94

Me either. You live in an imaginary world. rug Jul 2014 #95

Honest to fuck, I didn't think I could laugh harder, but you did it, rug!! PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #96

Most humor is grounded in truth. rug Jul 2014 #97

*snort*! AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #158

The third 'general comment' absolutely disagrees with you. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #80

Yes, it must be about cheating. rug Jul 2014 #70

He says things you don't like about the RCC and you just find weird ways to try to make him look bad PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #74

You keep fantasizing linkages. rug Jul 2014 #76

. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #77

, rug Jul 2014 #79

ok, you and 2 others who actually talk through it and how it's probably not if you keep reading. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #82

Of your three examples, one flat disagrees with you, one doesn't actually support you, and the third AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #83

"difficult to deduce for certain" rug Jul 2014 #88

You must be kidding. HornBuckler Jul 2014 #102

Project what? rug Jul 2014 #104

Lyrics are open to interpretation. HornBuckler Jul 2014 #108

Sure, religious differences. rug Jul 2014 #109

Yet you're convinced Tom is singing HornBuckler Jul 2014 #112

I hope you were better at reading than you are at psychology. rug Jul 2014 #114

I am still alive and continue to read. HornBuckler Jul 2014 #118

I didn't write the song. rug Jul 2014 #119

I have no reason to doubt your hearing. HornBuckler Jul 2014 #123

Yes, it's all open to interpretation, even Ted Nugent songs. rug Jul 2014 #124

false. tweek420 from songmeanings.com agrees with rug. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #135

Do you think Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" is about a sexual predator also? nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #127

Sure you can read into lyrics. rug Jul 2014 #128

I note you chopped off her boyfriend... AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #132

That sounds a little sinister. rug Jul 2014 #136

As well it should. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #137

If I give you beer and travel money, will you go away? rug Jul 2014 #138

Random. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #141

Indeed. rug Jul 2014 #143

The timestamp isn't an indictment, but AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #131

Your Cartesian logic eludes me. rug Jul 2014 #133

I'm sure it doesn't. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #134

So there aren't *any* legitimate criticisms to be made RE: the Catholic hierarchy? nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #125

Speaking of nefarious interpretations, rug Jul 2014 #130

I was just wondering why you brought it up in this particular thread. nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #139

I'm assessing how murky you can make the obvious. rug Jul 2014 #142

It's not obvious. It's a tortured conclusion. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #145

Okay, I take it you're not a Tom Petty fan. To each their own. nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #146

Pretty weak argument. nt el_bryanto Jul 2014 #167

He still tours. A lot. And just releasing a new album. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #72

New album got four stars in latest Rolling Stone SomeGuyInEagan Jul 2014 #99

As I said upthread, I've seen him 11 times... and will continue to every chance I get. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #100
