This is so interesting to watch, to see Adria’s perspective of things and the songs that we listen to each have such a personal connection to her ❤️.

Adria, As a devoted fan, member of Tom Petty Nation and a former Highway Companion I’d like to apologize for any pain we fans may have brought to you. I consider you part of our Royal Family and cherish you and the estate for the gifts we have received from the archives. Thank you from Boston. ❤️

3:15 Absolutely, my daughter died from fentanyl . you are not alone.

[@DebraRodman]

Love to hear about the work you all are doing in Gainesville in Tom’s honor.

[@BigfootBookWriter]

Southern Accents reminds me of living in Gainesville and it's my favorite.

[@Dumballa]

Very cool. Keep going.

[@DebraRodman]

Yes! The Tom Petty house! I thought it was an urban legend. There is an old documentary (think it was on MTV) where Tom’s driving through Gainesville reminiscing. I was so touched by it - this was years before I moved to G’ville from Miami. Would love to find that film again.

[@frankmorris5224]

It's here on KZbin. It was a documentary on MTV about the Southern Accents album kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpC0gJ5rh8Sga6Msi=nK0ciIZgbd8A4tls
