Who else is listening to this great music in 2024?

If you weren't around in the eighties, MAN you missed something special

[aubiece]

MTV ruled in the early 80s. This was one of the best ever.

[marcusdy]

This is how powerful music is, i was a black teenager in Washington D.C. watching mtv and was introduced to Tom Petty and was a fan of his sound, just loved his unique sound...R.I.P. Tom Petty, music is a bridge

In 1982, when this music video was released, there was a lot of focus on "Time Capsules" - Leaving a legacy of modern technology for future genreations to uncover.
We were so proud of our accomplishments in computing, as depicted in video games, that it was heartbreaking when Tom of the future didn't care, and pushed the video game over, twirling his gun victoriously.
That was a powerful lesson.
No matter what you accomplish, there going to be a future generation who just doesn't give a damn.

I guess I was a latch key kid since 1981 when “video killed the radio star” first played on mtv. I cared about nothing else for years 🥰

[davidmerritt]

Missing this dude and his music bro. He was an American original.

[rafram]

brings back good memories'. When MTV was MTV and not garbage like it is today.

[rolandvillareal]

We were the lucky ones, to experience great music and cool videos.

[stvbrsn]

When this song was newly released, they used to play this video on MTV all the time. This was a time when MTV played music videos. I was 14 and this was my introduction to Tom Petty. I thought this song (and video) were just about the coolest thing ever. Now I'm seeing it again for the first time in over a quarter century.
I think it's pretty much the coolest thing ever.

[the-chillian]

Ah yes, another evening of listening to old music and re-evaluating my life choices.

I loved this video back in the day.

There are only a handful of songs that can take you out of whatever you’re doing and fully engulf you in the soul of the music. This is one of those songs. You play this while driving down an empty highway at night and you feel like you’re living within a movie…

[dchristopher]

This solo though.. like so-low... 3:03 .. guy liked it so much, he kept the guitar.. The good ol' days..

[echoparklady]

The Mtv premiere of this song in the 80's clearly etched in my memory. ❤ you got luckey babe, you got luckey, when I found You!
