There is no better way to be inspired than to plop down on a comfy sofa and watch Runnin’ Down A Dream, the quintessential documentary about Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.  It might just be the best rock n’ roll documentary I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of them.  The film is fantastic, full of tons of archival footage and rare interviews.  Plus, their story is nothing short of an inspirational wonder.  You may be able to catch it on IFC or pick it up at Amazon.

I have always loved their music, but I saw it only as great music.  As I watched the film, I recalled more of their music and realized how much their music has catalogued my life.  There is a passion in their music that is so tangible and accessible that I think everyone can apply its emotion to their own lives.

They are playing at the Super Bowl this year so catch the half-time show.
