"[I] sat watching realizing I grew up on these songs; everyone grew up on these songs. This is real American Art made from the roots of real people who deeply love life."
"My father loves music more than anything and always put music first. it's going to be healing to know I will never go a day without hearing his music," she continued. "I love his class, honesty and how strange and funny he is. Tom Petty is an American Icon because his heart has always put human rights first. We are one.
