Next, settle in to read Mike Campbell's memoir Heartbreaker and learn how a young lad found his soul in a guitar and learned to play like crazy. Then, meet an assortment of like minded musicians and the leading muse, Tom Petty. Out of hardscrabble Florida, the band played every joint in Gainsville. Slowly, they made connections and pushed to make a touring dream come true.
Mike Campbell was lead guitarist and also helped write countless famous songs - Refugee, Here Comes My Girl, You Got Lucky, and Runnin' Down the Dream.
Lots of ups and downs, fights, drugs, and grueling work. Campbell doesn't hold back and his memoir paints a very complete picture of a band and a dream.
RIP Tom Petty
