Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are performing at the Superbowl intermission this weekend. They get twelve minutes to do what they like in front of hundreds of millions of people. (See their Greatest Hitsat Amazon.

We think they will almost certainly choose this song from all their hits. It's Learning To Fly, released in 1991.

Here's another one of his all time best-selling hits, Don't Come Around Here No More. This amazing video will bring back strong memories for anyone who was around in the mid 1980's.

Another big hit was Free Fallin'. The girlfriend gets dumped because the guy wants to be free and free falling. Los Angeles gets many references in this song including Reseda, the San Fernando Valley, Ventura Boulevard and Mulholland Drive. This song was released in 1989.
