These Go To 11: Tom Petty Songs
Jan 17th, 2008 by C. Brahkowski
Each week on the brahsome.com Brown Hour (Tuesday nights, 9:30pm E) we close the night out with a Top 5 list of some sort. We then take the Top 5 list from each brah, weigh the choices, and create at Top 11 list…which is then posted on Wednesday morning. Well, we’re a day late with the list this week and it’s my fault. The news of Ambrosio sent me into an emotional tale spin…I was like a ship at sea that could find no port in the storm. Well, not exactly like that. But I did take it pretty hard.
So anyway, this week’s list is the Top 11 Tom Petty songs, because Mr. Petty will be gracing the stage of the Super Bowl half time show, and, if nothing else, this blahg is topical.
So here you have it, a day late, but worth the wait.
11. It’s Good To Be King
10. American Girl
9. Into the Great Wide Open
8. I Won’t Back Down
7. Learning to Fly
6. Running Down a Dream
5. Even the Losers
4. Handle With Care
3. You Don’t Know How It Feels
2. Free Fallin’
1. Mary Jane’s Last Dance


You hit all of them I would have (including the no-brainer #1) except Don’t Come Around Here No More. I’d have put Runnin’ Down a Dream higher, too, but I always knew I personally overrated that song.
He’ll go with American Girl, Paula Abdul will join him, flash a tit and Fox will lose the rights to the Super Bowl forever.
[...] The Tom Petty Super Bowl song choices [Brahsome] [...]
Songs I believe Tom is going to play during half-time:
American Girl
Free Fallin’
Running Down a Dream
Obviously, this is just my guess… although American Girl almost seems like a guarantee. I really don’t think he’ll play Last Dance with Mary Jane due to the drug connotations and the SuperBowl trying to avoid such controversy. What songs do you think will be played?

Brett obviously picks and chooses the Brahsome content to which he subjects himself…
Tis true sir, I googled for Tom Petty half time show and this is what came up instead of the odds post you pointed me too. Thanks for using lube Stamos.
