We were working on Slaves And Gods when he passed away. “He was one of my all-time favorites, and I was lucky enough to see him live several times. “ Tom Petty was and will forever be an American songwriting hero,” Dow says.

Darrell from EugeneI have an amusing anecdote to tell about this song: I was driving from Portland to Eugene (both Oregon) in my Alfa Romeo 164 with my lovely lady Serena when "Runnin' Down a Dream" by Tom Petty came on, and Serena started to sing along, not to "Runnin' Down a Dream", but to Del Shannon's legendary hit "Little Runaway".Kevin from Memphis, TnYou can't any better than this live.The guitar solo at the end is awesome too!
