This is Tom Petty again, covered by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. The song is I won’t back down<\/i> — in many respects the theme song of my own life. Petty has hundreds of letters from people who turned to this simple little shit-kicker song for strength when they were confronted, by threats or temptations, with the prospect of betraying their own souls. I can’t think of a more important job for art to do than to lend people the courage to be who they are, damn the consequences.<\/p>\n
