Until the Travelling Wilburys, Tom Petty wasn't on my radar. I don't remember hearing his songs or even being aware of his band. After reading this book, I didn't learn very much about the person Tom Petty was. I saw that he and his father were at odds with each other and avoided attending his mother's funeral because he was so famous (which would overshadow her funeral service).
There was no information about how he met his second wife and if they had kids together. There wasn't much family information at all. I learned more about Tom Petty's drummers than his family. I was sorry to see so little information about the Travelling Wilburys. I thought the idea of a superband was wonderful and gave older artists a new lease on life.
