haha, you really are a delightfully thick idiot. 6 Tom Petty fans? what so the singles chart is the most important thing? Bruce Springsteen has never had a number one single and he smashed the superbowl with awesome effect. But i am guessing you were not complaining then? thought not……. Learn to do some research, get some basic knowledge and get a copy of the movie ‘running down a dream’ maybe you can learn something? theres a good boy. Basically what i am trying to say, well what i am correctly saying is you are a fool, you don’t know a thing about music, clearly. I think people like you should be taken to one side and have someone carefully explain to them that you don’t deserve a record player. Goodbye brainless twit.

Stuart, Tom Petty has artistical and musical merit, and the fact that you clearly do not not agree with this fact does not mean that you are right in any way, shape, or form. Petty was the de facto backbone of the Traveling Wilburys (of End of the Line fame), a band which has as its members several of the greater legends of rock and roll music, including George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and others. I suggest that you look into this a bit.

Stuart, I was wondering if we could have a serious discussion of an issue that you have obviously not taken seriously. You see, Stuart, I have determined through my humorless reading of of a satirical website that you are either a) a small child, b) fat, c) dumb, d) jealous, or e) all of the above. Yes, I think e: a fat dumb jealous small child. Plus your penis is small.

The generation gap here, is almost as wide as the crack of your ass or should I say your mangina. How old are you Stuart….15, you would think you would enjoy seing a real “Guitar Hero” band. Thank you NFL for letting us enjoy a snapshot of something that sooner than we know, will be gone forever. This show was the “real thing”.

Sorry Stuart, I normally find myself agreeing with you on most things, but this is one where we differ I think!

You have to bear in mind that, although Tom Petty may not be as popular in the UK, the Superbowl is an American event and so they pick acts for the HT show who are well known over there. (You wouldn’t see Oasis doing the Superbowl HT show, despite the fact that the sell-out everywhere in Britain).

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are big enough in the States to merit getting Pearl Jam as their support act (which I’m guessing is not much in your opinion as well, but they are still a relatively big band!), and their back catalogue really is well worth an investigation – no pretentions of being ground-breaking, but great rock and roll fun nonetheless.

This one aside, keep up the good work!

How can you slate Tom Petty Mr Herritage? Do you know nothing about the man or about music?! DO you not realise that Tom Petty has sold a billion records? That in Russia doctors actually prescribe his albums for expecting mothers to play to their unborn children? Do you not know that Tom Petty was instrumental in the Berlin Wall coming down? Why are you such a snob? Why are you such a hater?! Haters only know one thing, hate. Those who live by the sword die by the sword, think about it. Tom Petty doesnâ€™t hate. Heâ€™s like Jesus. He loves everyone. He even loves you Stuart.

[...] me, not everyone was a fan of having Tom Petty perform at halftime at the Superbowl. That’s right, Tom Petty [...]

What’s the matter with you heritage? Like my brother Paul Fuge says, Tom Petty is like Bob Dylan and the Beatles combined but better. that may sound like the words of a raving lunatic to you and perhaps many others, but If you prefer music with ‘artistic integrity’ or some level of ‘talent’ or whatever it is you snobs go for, then go listen to that sort of music, leave petty out of it.

it’s quite funny that you hate petty so much when you are indeed petty yourself. LMAO!

Petty has sold over 50 million records. He’s had 10 albums reach the top 10; his most recent album (2006) hit number 4 in the US. He’s reached number 1 on the US Rock charts ten different times (more than Prince and the Stones combined).

Just FYI.

TP’s got a song for you haters! It’s called “Even the Losers”. Sounds like you might understand the gist of that song.
As for the talented and loyal class act that TP is, well, you’ll never get that.

Sounds to me like someone has an axe to grind. But then, I shouldn’t be surprised when the cultural reference used to put Tom Petty in perspective was that one of his songs was used once on the TV show Scrubs. The statement that “nobody watches the Super Bowl for the sport” makes me wonder why Stuart Heritage tuned in at all. If it was to for the sole purpose of watching the ads, then Tom Petty MUST have been a disappointment. Egads. It must have been a shock to see a musician standing in the place of an entertainer. Why, he didn’t even have tassels on his nipples or anything.
