Here Comes Paul, He's Wearing Tom Petty's Wife's Shawl
Say what you want about Tom Petty, but it's clear he understands the sanctity of a contract. Even when confronted with a bunch of sweaty, drunk guys from South Minneapolis traipsing about in his wife's clothes, he don't back down. As evidence, this story from reader Jim Styczinski:
I heard this story from a friend of a friend who was in a band that played at a show with replacement Replacement Slim Dunlap. Slim told this story from the tour with Tom Petty:
Tom Petty's fans hated them and they hated Tom Petty's fans. They hated everything about the tour and wanted out, but Petty wouldn't let them out of the contract. Before one of the shows, they broke into Tom Petty's wife's trailer, everyone put on one of her dresses, and they went out and performed like that. Mrs. Petty said to someone, "Hey I have a dress just like that one." Afterwards, Petty dressed them down:
"I bet you guys think you're funny. Well you're not! I bet you guys think you're fired. Well you're not!"
