Someone asked me yesterday why I'm not active on Twitter anymore. I tried to be funny and reminded them of this Tom Petty song (also a great music video). Of course, the person in their 20s had never heard of the song or Tom Petty (which upset me) www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Jv... - ThreadSky

Love Tom Petty - worth the Spotify rabbit hole on his back catalogue #highlyrecommend

A 20-ish year old asked us what kind of music we'd be playing one night before a show and then apologized for not knowing of Tom Petty. He defended himself by saying he wasn't alive in the 1900's. Fair enough & ouch.

I approve of the music content, Harmit!

The fact is X’s algorithm is so f#%ked you a) get zero eyes on any content you post, and b) the only replies or engagement are bots. It is one bot talking to another in an endless circle jerk. 👏 well done Elon

I’ve stopped using rockstar greats as analogies when I teach or talk to my students for this exact reason. I’ve even had crickets when I mention Mick Jagger let alone “obscure” artists like Jimmy Page and Robert Plant…

Any course on aging needs to have a special class featuring Mick Jagger and Keith Richards!

therailab.bsky.social•35 days ago

Some recent-ish movie set in the 60s had a scene with a record exec snarking “Rock is a young persons game, do you think Mick Jagger will be strutting across the stage in his 60s?” The audience just cracked up!

Keith Richard’s basically invented blood/serum transfers for anti-aging (but his was for evading drug charges 🙃)

Communicate Only in Tom Petty Lyrics for an Hour Challenge

harmitmalik.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well, I won't back down
No I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

Two cars parked on the overpass
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
I should have known right then it was too good to last
God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past

It feels more than a nightmare.
I hope we can all escape.

My sons (11 now!) have a friend here in Laos that loves Weezer. On Thursdays the kids can do Karaoke at lunch at school. This little Lao kid is belting out Island in the Sun or Buddy Holly. A brave and relentless little man. They all sing along now. Keep playing TP and the HBs. They'll catch on.
