Just read somethin' on AMERICAN SONGWRITER. Go HERE. It's a cool story about TOM PETTY and BOB DYLAN...and, I love them both, so it caught my eye. TOM PETTY was really influenced by DYLAN as were so musicians back in the '60s. Petty said it was the first time he realized that songs could be written about real life...not just love. And, he met BOB DYLAN for the first time 'round 1977-78 at a BOB DYLAN awesome performance in L.A. Dylan invited him backstage after the show. WOW. How cool is that?
 When BOB DYLAN decided to perform with an electric guitar in Willie Nelson's FARM AID way back in 1985, he wanted an electric band behind him. He picked TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS to back him up. Dylan loved them. And, TOM AND THE HEARTBREAKERS were all delighted. Yea, I guess so, a dream come true for any musician anywhere on this or any planet [Trajen Jan... SMILE cool]. Tom admired Dylan too...and says about him.." He’s a really good musician, and a great songwriter.", " A troubadour of the truest sense." and " I admire him for remaining a good guy, an honest guy."
I would recommend this piece from AMERICAN SONGWRITER as an insightful and eye-opening look into the real day to day hard work and 

dedication needed by musicians at the top. It's an enjoyable read. Thanks, Trajen Jan--------------
