Congratulations to Megan Volpert on the publication of her latest book that analyzes Tom Petty’s song “Straight into Darkness” from the Long After Dark Album. Bob, our keyboard player, was honored to be asked to write one of the cover blurbs.
“An interesting look at the inner workings of the Heartbreakers channeled through a deep consideration of their transitional Long After Dark album. Fans of Tom Petty will love this book.”
-Bob Dec, keyboardist for Petty Larceny, Massachusetts
