Into the Great Wide Open ~ Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Many people, myself included, say there is nothing to see in North Dakota. That may be true in some areas some of the time. During the summer when the fields are about ready for harvesting, it can be very beautiful. You just have to open your eyes and look. These pictures were taken from the car while driving on I-94 heading west to Montana, and a few on our return. Sunrise in Bismarck on our way there and the sunset on our way back home. 5 or so pictures are from the Painted Canyon Overlook at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Song is Tom Petty's 'Into the Great Wide Open' which definitely describes North Dakota :)

The way how he softly sings, "The skyyyy waaas the limit." gets me every single time. Tear.

"He went to Hollywood and got a tattoo, He met a girl out there with a tattoo too" - one of the greatest lines ever in one of the greatest songs ever. Thank you Tom - you are sorely missed but never forgotten.

Listening to this song as a young man makes me feel like I'm remembering something that was taken away from me before I got to experience it

Legend… One of the best ever

Great track, grew up listening to Tom Petty, when I was in kid, I think 1991 - 92 I was 12-13 years old, on Sunday mornings in the summertime my mother would play this at least 5X with the volume on max singing along

Rest in peace, Tom Petty. Grew up listening to him since my dad had him on the radio all the time.

He was the persona of what it was to be cool, free, young, and American....and I am afraid we are slowly losing this idea as the world rolls on without him. But he lives on in our hearts!
